Owen Hargreaves has warned Chelsea not to take Eintracht Frankfurt for granted as they prepare for their Europa League semi-final clash.
The Blues will face off against the Bundesliga side who beat Benfica in the quarter-final, drawing 4-4 on aggregate and progressing via away goals.
Hargreaves, who won four Bundesliga titles with Bayern Munich during his time in Germany, explains why the Blues should ensure they respect their opponents on their way to the final.
While Luka Jovic has earned the majority of the plaudits for Adi Hutter’s side this season, fellow attackers Sebastien Haller and Ante Rebic have also had an impact in the well-drilled and dynamic team.
Talking to BT Sport as reported by Football.London, former England international Hargreaves said:
That Frankfurt team. That is a fairytale story so far. They have brilliant attacking players. They have an innovative manager as well.
That won’t be easy. It looks comfortable for Chelsea but it definitely won’t be.
