More than 50,000 Eintracht supporters came to celebrate a football festival at the public viewing in the Waldstadion.
They pushed their team on in the Europa League final until the last minute.
The football evening had started early and impressively.
The supporters of Eintracht had gathered at Römerberg around 5 p.m.
The square in downtown Frankfurt was jam-packed, getting through was unthinkable.
Hardly anyone wore anything other than a white Eintracht jersey.
"The SBU rules here," chanted the crowd.
Firecrackers and pyrotechnics were ignited, white and red smoke lay over the square.
Then the train started moving, first through the narrow Limpurger Gasse, then over the Untermainbrücke and on along Kennedy-Allee in the direction of the stadium.
The march of Eintracht fans was impressive.
It stretched for kilometers across Kennedy-Allee in the direction of the football arena, and thousands upon thousands had come.
The train suddenly stopped at the point where the arterial road crosses a railway bridge.
The fans knelt in the street, did a la ola wave, then started jumping.
"Anyone who doesn't jump is an Offenbacher," they roared.
"You won't find motivation like this anywhere else," said Kevin, one of the Eintracht supporters who had made his way to the stadium.
The atmosphere in the stadium was also great.
The way the fans cheered on their team playing in Spain was unbelievable.
They jumped, they roared, they raised their fists, they sang at a deafening volume.
They commented on every move made by Glasgow Rangers with loud boos, cheered every successful Eintracht action, every shot towards the Scottish goal.
More tension, more euphoria like that evening were hardly possible.
Those who have such fans shouldn't whine.
