Eintracht Frankfurt and Napoli will meet for the first time in almost 30 years during Tuesday night’s Champions League knockout clash at the Deutsche Bank Park.
10,303 days, or 28 years, 2 months and 12 days ago, Eintracht Frankfurt and Napoli faced off for the first time in history.
Frankfurt and Napoli have met just on just two occasions prior to tonight’s showdown in Germany, locking horns in the 1994/95 UEFA Cup third round.
- November 24, 1994: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 Napoli
- December 7, 1994: Napoli 0-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Footballing icons Fabio Cannavaro (sent off in the second leg) and Jay-Jay Okocha both featured in the tie but it was the latter’s side who would progress and advance to the quarter-finals before being knocked out by Juventus.
