Overview

• Eintracht were routed 5-1 at Atlético Madrid and beaten 3-0 by Bayern Munich, exposing a fragile back line.
• Dino Toppmöller called out simple defensive mistakes and conceded his team is not at top European level right now.
• Frankfurt have conceded 16 goals in their past four competitive matches and 16 in the first six Bundesliga games, a worst start per Frankfurter Rundschau.
• Injuries and selection turbulence continue, with Rasmus Kristensen sidelined, a goalkeeper switch unsettling the group, and Nnamdi Collins dropped for Aurelio Buta against Bayern.
• Toppmöller plans adjustments focused on balance and execution as a demanding run after the break—Freiburg, Liverpool, St. Pauli and Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal—looms.
