They have set a bar for themselves. Hopefully they win the Europa league this season. Would definitely want to see them challenge Bayern and Dortmund and see them in champions league next season.

As a long time FC Basel fan, i can safely say Urs Fischer is one of the best coaches i've ever seen at a "lower level". He won us the domestic double with an aging squad, meanwhile his direct replacement struggled to even fight for the title. He's an incredible character and deserves all the praise he's gotten and will continue to get when Union inevitably break into the domestic Top 4.

I live 2 km from Union Berlins Stadium but I'm a fan of FC Cologne. It socks how good they are

Now they are at the top of the standings!

My dream would be seeing them win the Europa league or bundesliga

No idea what you wanted with the GTA snippets but very nice video

The fact the Bundesliga lacks a team like this, probably means they will stay there, as a new 4th Power in the Bundesliga. There is the Big Cash Club that uses its power and take the best players from the local teams. Bayern Munich. There is the Team that has the best Youth Development, so good that European Powers constantly try to take their players. Borussia Dortmund There is the Corporate Team that uses its Scouting and Brand to get talent for cheap from their own feeder clubs. RB Leipzig. And finally there is the Traditional Team that remembers Old Football and its origins are Working Class. If Union Berlin manages this properly, they could become the Liverpool of the Bundesliga, eventually becoming a Giant of their own but with a unique culture different to the other Big Clubs.

Currently sitting 2nd in the bundesliga with 39 points only 1 point behind bayern munich really hope they topple bayern this season

Best of luck from an Cumann peile Bóihéamach, Éire 🇮🇪🤝🇩🇪

I'm here watching this after they inexplicably held Bayern to a 1 all draw on September 3, 2022. Equal on points with Bayern too after 5 games.

damn!!they’re impressive!!!no wonder you guys european dominate football in this modern days..I hope that at least there is 1 club can do the same like this for our football

I hope Union Berlin wins Bundesliga and advances to the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League group stage ahead of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund this season. The Iron Ones (Die Eisernen), however, they'll win the competition and qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Now they have qualified for UCL❤❤😅😅! I wont be surprised if they become ucl Quarter finalist in the next season

I always wonder if the Bundesliga was meant 4 Bayern Munich. Even if the likes of Borrusia Dortmund are 20 points ahead, it's like they try so much to give the title to Bayern as if they were bought off. Rival teams even sell their best players to Bayern, it's so strange. U can't see that in Premier League eg Mane/ Salah from Liverpool to Man U or Man City, Laliga eg Barca selling Messi to Real Madrid or Benzama from R. Madrid to Barcelona, Serie A or Ligue 1. But you see clubs like Leverkusen, Dortmund (great Bayern rivals) etc selling Lewandosky, Mazundic or other best players to Bayern. Every season you just know the title is for Bayern.
