Eintracht Frankfurt: Adi Hütter wants his team to stay focused amidst rumors

The Eagles are set to face Barcelona in the Europa League quarter-finals, but their manager wants them to stay focused on the task at hand

Eintracht Frankfurt manager Adi Hütter has warned his players against complacency ahead of their Europa League quarter-final clash against Barcelona, despite the widespread assumption that the Spanish giants are heavily favored to win the tie.

The German club has enjoyed a remarkable run in the competition this season, having already knocked out Real Betis and Shakhtar Donetsk, and they will be hoping to cause another upset when they face Barcelona at the Camp Nou on Thursday.

However, Hütter is keen to keep his players' expectations in check, and he has urged them to focus on the task at hand rather than getting carried away by the hype surrounding the game.

"We are under no illusions about the size of the task that we face," said Hütter. "Barcelona are one of the best teams in the world, and they will be the clear favorites to win the tie.

"But we have shown in this competition that we are capable of anything, and we will be going into the game with the belief that we can cause an upset.

"The most important thing for us is to stay focused on our own performance. We need to play to our strengths and make sure that we give Barcelona a game. If we can do that, then we will have a chance of winning.

Hütter's comments come amidst speculation that he could be set to leave Eintracht Frankfurt at the end of the season, with Borussia Dortmund reportedly interested in appointing him as their new manager.

However, Hütter has insisted that he is fully focused on the task at hand, and he has urged his players to do the same.

"I am not thinking about anything other than the game against Barcelona," said Hütter. "We have a big opportunity to achieve something special, and I am determined to make the most of it.

"I am sure that my players will be fully focused on the game, and we will be doing everything we can to win."
