The man is usually a couch. Fabian Frei made 112 appearances under the European spotlight in his career. The captain of FCB is now out of the eighth finals against Slovan Bratislava, but is injured once. The 34-year-old has a problem with his back.

Taulant Xhaka, also an experienced hare with 78 European Cup appearances, should close the gap. With Michael Lang (57 games) there is another veteran in the starting blocks. And the Thurgau – with all his experience – warns against too much stubbornness. “Luckily we already had Bratislava in the group stage. Otherwise there would certainly have been a mood of: they can, we are already in the quarter-finals.” As a reminder, Slovan won the group in the fall because they won the direct game against FCB (0:2/3:3 ).

FCB gets half the points

Still, red-blue is preferable. Because FCB almost always gets the stars out of the sky internationally. FCB is responsible for 45% of all Swiss UEFA points in the five-year ranking (see box). If Basel had not thrown the Turkish champion out of Trabzon, the Super League would have only received four European starting places next season.

However, thanks to the performance, the Swiss champions will reach the Europa League group stage in 2024 and go straight to the Champions League play-offs. And the cup winner gets a place in the group stage of the Conference League. Thanks to FCB.

Of course he does not only play for Switzerland. But also for yourself and for the UEFA bonuses. The Basel team pulled in nearly eight million, plus viewership revenue, in the current campaign. Not to be forgotten are the rising market values ​​of the players, which are getting a bigger window on the international scene.

Also today against the Slovakian record champion Slovan Bratislava (live ticker from 9 p.m.), the scouts are back in the Joggeli and look at the Dioufs, Burgers and Amdounis of this world at their feet. Together with almost 15,000 spectators.
