Frankfurt vs. Liverpool: Head-to-head record and past meetings before Champions League clash

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 3

Draws: 1

Eintracht Frankfurt faced Liverpool for just the third time in their history in October 2025, but they will not remember the match fondly given they were trounced 5-1.

The Eagles had taken the lead before the half-hour mark through Rasmus Kristensen, but three late goals in the first half gave the Merseysiders a commanding advantage.

Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboslzai strikes finished the game off in the second half, with Arne Slot's side getting the better of Eagles boss Dino Toppmoller.

The teams' last meetings came in the first round of the 1972-73 UEFA Cup, a competition rebranded as the Europa League.

Liverpool won the first leg on September 12, 1972 against the Germans 2-0 at Anfield thanks to goals from Kevin Keegan and Emlyn Hughes.

Though Frankfurt were able to avoid defeat in the return fixture 14 days later, the match ended goalless, and the English side advanced into the next round of the tournament.

The victory would prove significant as the Reds would go on to lift the trophy after beating Borussia Monchengladbach over two legs in 1973, claiming their first ever European title.

Frankfurt's record at home against English opponents is positive considering they have lost just two of their nine contests as hosts, winning on three occasions.

As for Liverpool, they are unbeaten in 15 games against German teams, emerging as victors in 16 of those fixtures.

The last time the Reds encountered a Bundesliga team was in the league phase of the Champions League in the 2024-25 season, when they beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 in November 2024.

Meanwhile, the Eagles lost 2-1 on aggregate against Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League quarter-finals last term, drawing 1-1 in England in April 2025 before losing 1-0 at home in the second leg that same month.
