From relegations to competing for Bundesliga title: The rise of Union ... (Khel Now)

Union Berlin have had a fairy tale run in the Bundesliga this term. But it has not always been bright for the Bundesliga side.

Union Berlin were at risk of declaring bankruptcy and dropping to the fourth tier of German football in the year 2004. Fans and players alike share a transcendent sense of strength and resilience that the club has developed as a result of its financial resistance. When Union Berlin needed to support the most, the team’s supporters have never let them down. One of the Bundesliga’s top teams at least for the time being. [Dortmund](https://khelnow.com/football/team/borussia-dortmund) were shattered. Our group.

Lothar Matthäus praises the competition in Bundesliga and the rise ... (Khel Now)

Germany legend Lothar Matthaus talks about Bundesliga's title challenge and the rise of Union Berlin in the German league.

He came to the Bundesliga as a free agent in the summer and his performance has been exceptional, regardless of what his transfer value is now or what his potential is. He has become one of the faces of the Bundesliga in the last seven months. “I think he is the top scorer with ten goals and ten assists, and he is also near the top of the ranking for quickest players. The coach makes the most of the pace of Lindstrøm and Kolo Muani by letting the opposition have the ball and using the space in behind. For me, Musiala has this quality, and not only because he has now become a fixture at Bayern München and is the top goal scorer who scores the best goals and provides the nicest assists. The international marketing is excellent, and the Bundesliga has a lot of young and talented players. The successes in the Bundesliga and the cup final appearance last season show that it’s not just a flash in the pan, but that the quality is really there to keep competing at the top of the table in the coming years. “I have been a fan of Musiala for over two and a half years, ever since he started playing in the Bundesliga. Of course, the teams all enjoy these occasions, but it’s been a normal routine for Bayern and the team knows how to deal with it and there is experience in the team about how to win titles. It’s a bit reminiscent of the old RB style which Marco Rose seems to have brought back to the team, and this is why Leipzig are a team that can not only be dangerous for Bayern but also a team that belongs at the top.” It’s a different story to the one at Union Berlin, but they have also worked their way to the top with the support of the fans and a lot of great work. This has not come from nowhere and it’s not just down to luck, but rather it’s been a lot of hard and disciplined work and a lot of intuition.
