On the evening of May 17, all nine matches in the 34th round of the Bundesliga began at the same time, and a Champions League quota battle began between Frankfurt, ranked third and Freiburg, ranked fourth.

In history, Frankfurt only once entered the Champions League through the league, which was already in 1960. The last time Frankfurt participated in the Champions League was because he won the Europa League qualification. Before the start of the final round, all three teams have the possibility of participating in the Champions League. Frankfurt ranks third and has the best situation, but Frankfurt needs to challenge Freiburg away in the last round.

Although Freiburg ranked fourth, as long as he won Frankfurt at home in the last round, this veteran team established in 1904 will participate in the Champions League for the first time in team history. In another game that started at the same time, Dortmund played against Kiel, who had been relegated at home, and he is likely to score 3 points.

Just 3 minutes into the start of another game, Dortmund won a penalty kick, Gilasi scored in one fell swoop, Dortmund surpassed Freiburg in real time and rose to fourth place. Not only that, Kiel was sent off one person in the 9th minute.

Freiburg fans did not wait too long. In the 27th minute, Gentle's out-of-bounds ball created a threat, and Doon-Ruo calmly shot, and Freiburg was in full swing at home.

This is also the 10th goal of the individual league of Doona, and continues to maintain the title of the team's scorer king.

In the first half, Linhart cleared the ball and played in the empty game, Knauf accepted the gift, and Frankfurt equalized the score. If this score is over, Frankfurt will advance to the Champions League. If Dortmund wins in another game, Freiburg will fall out of the top four and miss the Champions League.

Just 4 minutes into the second half, Manzambi handballed in the penalty area, and Freiburg's whole team was very nervous. The referee looked back at VAR. In this wave of attack, Frankfurt was offside first and there was no penalty kick.

In the 61st minute, Freiburg dragged the ball in the end. Frankfurt immediately launched a counterattack after a steal. Christensen's long shot was quite sudden. Frankfurt led the away game, and Freiburg was in a desperate situation.

11 minutes later, Frankfurt won a free kick in the frontcourt, and the two teams were in chaos. Manzambi scored an own goal. During this goal, three players from both teams fell to the ground one after another, and the referee determined that the goal was valid.

In the end, Freiburg conceded three goals in a row while leading 1-0, and suffered a tragic reversal of 1-3. In another game, Dortmund defeated Kiel 3-0. The two games ended and the Bundesliga Champions League ticket battle officially ended.

Frankfurt, with a total value of 320 million, has 60 points, maintaining the third place ranking and advancing to the Champions League again after 65 years.
