The 1-1 draw away to Fenerbahce SK enabled Eintracht Frankfurt to finish first in UEFA Europa League Group D, which sees them – along with the other seven group-winners – through to the round of 16 directly. Those ties will be played on Thursday 10 and 17 March 2022, with Eintracht at home in the second leg.
The play-off round in between will take place on 17 and 24 February, and the Eagles will be watching on with interest. It will feature the second-placed teams from the Europa League groups and the third-placed teams from the Champions League, with the eight winners going through to the Europa League round of 16.
