Shortly before 10:30 p.m., pure Berlin bliss exploded in Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion.
OH, HOW BEAUTIFUL!
After the final whistle of the won relegation second leg, there was no stopping the players on the pitch and the fans who had traveled with them in the stands. YES, YES, YES!!!

Felix, the magician, actually kept his word and kept the class with Hertha!
While the cheering players hug each other below, a blue and white fan party is taking place in the block. What a conclusion to what has been a bleak season for so long.

The blue and white jubilee party goes on late into the night. But where there is joy, there is also sadness. So the HSV fans have to keep their fingers crossed for a fifth year in the second division.
The winners united in jubilation

All Herthaners had to wait until the very last game for such a picture. It shows what hasn’t been seen for most of the season. A team united in celebration. A tight-knit community where everyone is ready to fight for the other. A squad that gives their all for the club. All’s well that ends well. It is to be hoped that Hertha fans will be spared such a thriller next season.
