bundesliga.com: Frankfurt had over 15,000 fans in Milan for the Europa League round of 16 second leg and are averaging attendances of almost 50,000 at home this season. What makes Eintracht support so special?

Da Costa: “It’s hard to explain. The amount of euphoria we have experienced since the cup final is unimaginable. With the first home game in the Europa League, it was evident that the competition was a special thing and really important. That we started off so successfully definitely played a part in that, but to have 20,000 fans who had to find every possible way of getting tickets to support us in Milan is incredible.

"After the game we stood in front of that corner of the stadium to thank them, and I could hardly see them because they were so high up and dressed in dark colours, but the support that we received from them over the 90 minutes was fantastic. I think people in Europe enjoy seeing how engaged the fans are, especially in the Europa League. As a player there’s nothing better than playing in front of a crowd such as this one who also support you in such a way on the road as well. I had never experienced something like this before and to experience it now is incredible.”

bundesliga.com: Eintracht boast one of Europe’s most prolific attacking trios this season with Sebastien Haller, Luka Jovic and Ante Rebic. What’s it like playing alongside them?

Da Costa: “It’s definitely a lot of fun! It’s great to have this quality in the team because they can score a goal out of very little. Now, with Goncalo [Paciencia] back from injury we have another player who has joined right in with the others as he scored right away. Especially in the game against Hoffenheim, where he scored the winning goal in the last second of the game, shows how incredible our attacking force is right now. It's great to be assisting this strike force, so it is really a lot of fun.”
