Tottenham & Eintracht Frankfurt Survive Chaos in Group D on Matchday 6
The sixth and final matchday of the Champions League Group Stage arrived on Tuesday, and all eyes were on Group D. Six of yesterday’s eight matches held no meaning other than seeding implications for the Knockout Stage, but all four teams in Group D — Marseille, Tottenham, Sporting and Eintracht Frankfurt — were still alive when the day began. It was Marseille and Sporting who each held 1-0 leads at halftime, but Tottenham and Frankfurt both fought back for 2-1 wins to steal the group. Spurs would have advanced with a 1-1 draw, but they found a stoppage-time winner from Pierre-Emile Højbjerg to take the group.
