Sporting in round of 16

Eintracht will resume their UEFA Youth League campaign at the end of February. Coach Alex Meier’s charges face Sporting Clube de Portugal in the round of 16.

There’ll be another UEFA Youth League fixture in Frankfurt after the draw for the rest of the knockout phase was made in Nyon on Friday lunchtime. Eintracht were handed a home tie against Sporting Clube de Portugal, better known as Sporting Lisbon. The clash with Sporting will be held on Tuesday 24 February, 16:00 CET in Dreieich (maxworx Sportpark). 

Bracket set

Eintracht also know their potential quarter-final opponents already. If the U19s get past Sporting, they’ll meet the winners of the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea away from home. Should they make it all the way to the final, there could be a chance for revenge against Atlético, who beat Eintracht 2-1 on Matchday 2 of the league phase.
