Immortality can come to those you least expect to earn it - and almost a decade on from his ill-fated stay at Manchester United, David Moyes sits on the brink of a European final at the helm of the Hammers.
This is a Premier League side that has dared to dream big, and taken the continent by storm with some stunning performances - but they still need to turn out two more if they are to make it all the way through to the final.
Predicted West Ham starting XI: Areola; Johnson, Dawson, Cresswell; Coufal, Soucek, Rice, Masuaku; Fornals, Bowen; Antonio.
| Position | Frankfurt roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Trapp, Grahl, Ramaj |
| Defenders | Ndicka, Hinteregger, Toure, Hasebe, Da Costa, Lenz, Tuta, Durm |
| Midfielders | Ilsanker, Jakic, Hrustic, Sow, Kostic, Kamada, Rode, Chandler, Barkok, Lindstrom |
| Forwards | Lammers, Borre, Ache, Hauge, Knauff, Paciencia |
Few seemed to give Frankfurt a chance against Barcelona in the second leg but aided by a hefty number of road supporters at Camp Nou - to the Blaugrana's anger - the Bundesliga team were roared on to victory in a five-goal thriller.
The wind will be in their sails more than any other side in the tournament now - and with a home tie yet to come, they will hope they can strike an early blow against the Irons to book a final spot.
Predicted Frankfurt starting XI: Trapp; Tuta, Hinteregger, Hasebe; Knauff, Sow, Rode, Kostic; Kamada, Lindstrom; Borre
