UEFA Cup 1979/80: Eintracht Frankfurt's greatest international success is the UEFA Cup triumph in the 1979/80 season — a victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach in an all-German final that remains the high point of the club's European history.
Five DFB-Pokal triumphs: Domestically, five DFB-Pokal victories (1974, 1975, 1981, 1988, 2018) and above all the German championship of 1959 represent the pillars of the club's trophy cabinet.
German champions against Offenbacher Kickers: The German championship, won on June 28, 1959 in Berlin with a 5-3 victory against the cross-city rivals Kickers Offenbach, remains the pinnacle of Frankfurt football.
European Cup of Champions: A year later, Eintracht Frankfurt became the first German team to reach a European final, facing Real Madrid at Hampden Park in Glasgow. The 3-7 defeat was no disgrace — it remains one of the most celebrated matches in football history.
No panic on the Titanic: Referee Daniel Stolpe took charge of the Eintracht Frankfurt vs. 1. FC Kaiserslautern match on the final day of the 2015/16 season. Frankfurt needed a win to stay up — and got it, producing one of the club's most dramatic survival stories.
"Fußball 2000": "Eintracht embodies a very specific playing style. And it is called: beautiful football," said SGE legend Bernd Hölzenbein. The initiative "Fußball 2000" under coach Dragoslav Stepanović became synonymous with the club's most entertaining era.
Okocha-cha-cha: Few Eintracht goals have been replayed on TV as often as Jay-Jay Okocha's irresistible solo run against Karlsruher SC in 1993 — a goal of such audacity that it transcended the club and became a piece of Bundesliga folklore.
The Euro Eagles: No other German club had achieved what Eintracht managed in the Europa League group stage — winning all six group matches. The Eagles' European campaign of 2018/19 captured the imagination of football fans far beyond Frankfurt.
The relegation master: No other club has shown such nerve in Bundesliga relegation play-offs as Eintracht Frankfurt. Time and again, the Eagles have pulled themselves back from the brink in the most dramatic fashion.
