    So happy for Union Berlin, they reached Bundesliga for the first time in history last year and today they beat Leipzig 2-1 at home to reach european competions next year. They have one of the best fans I've seen.

    Union play at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in the eastern neighbourhood of Kopenick. The ground, which is terracing on three sides, holds 22,000.

    The club risked losing their licence in 2008 when those terraces were crumbling, but 2,500 fans volunteered to rebuild the stadium and put in 140,000 hours of work between them.

    They bought themselves back from the brink and they rebuilt their own stadium.





    A friendly game in England, I repeat a friendly game. Most teams can make this atmosphere away in an official game.

    My team RAPID BUCHAREST got back into the first division in Romania, after 6 years. It was a hard road but we made it. In 2016 the club was declared bankrupt and we started again from the fourth division.

    We have a new stadium, probably the best fans in Romania and we're ready to be at the top again. I just can't wait to go at every game and see my team back where they belong. Couldn't be happier right now

    On a side note, In 2018 we played a game in the 4th division with 37.000 fans in the stands.

    And on that day we had more fans at this one game in the 4th divsion than at all the games combined in the 1st division. We made history.

    Seeing how average Real Madrid's attacking line is since last season...reaching this far is an accomplishment, especially with the circumstances of the team when it comes to all the injuries sustained by the players throughout this season (58!). This a good reminder that we need changes and new names upfront in the attack...Mbappe is a must deal + others in other positions. They still have the La Liga in their hands.


    On the other hand, Chelsea were much better on both leagues. Real Madrid were so bad today like they are out of solutions (again a good reminder the team needs to be updated)
    Congrats to Chelsea and all its fans. They deserve this victory and I hope they win it all!

    I originally thought Bayern would win the whole thing but now I don’t know who to pick. Both PSG and City are known to flop in the later rounds, so maybe Real Madrid will be winners

    my pick is PSG vs Real Madrid for the final

    Been good brother, thank you for the tag! Just been extremely busy since my job as a therapist becomes a lot more demanding around this time of the year, holidays are rough for a lot of people sadly.

    Overall I've been very happy about our form, I mean we've seen this movie before: Tough string of results -> Zidane's status as a manager gets severely questioned -> Incoming calendar of difficult games -> Real Madrid rises to the occasion.

    I'll hopefully get more active again after the holidays, but I hope you've all been doing well and please stay safe guys!

    Chelsea's squad is just too OP at the moment. I dont even know if it's reached its full potential yet for this season, we've still got Havertz and Pulisic to get back in form/shape.

    Giroud with the perfect for 4 goal game against Sevilla (left/right/head/penalty) is going to give Lampard a huge headache this weekend, he's surely got to start but the Abraham/Werner link has being going really well.
