Get ready for the sensation! Union has the chance to knock Bayern Munich out of first place on Matchday 5.
The first competitive win against FC Bayern would probably shake the sold-out Alte Försterei even more than usual.
Defender Paul Jaeckel (24) encourages everyone and says: “Leadership is possible. Otherwise we don’t need to show up at all. If you go into the game thinking it could backfire, it probably will.”
The fact that the team has been unbeaten in eleven league games across the seasons speaks for Union. In addition, there was no bankruptcy in eight home games in a row. However, Jaeckel does not want to speak of a dream start because only four rounds have been played.
But the defender also says: “We’re not super happy because we’re in second place. It’s a good phase. We want to ride the wave for as long as possible.”
The announcement: We want to give everything to overthrow Bayern. But it was against the record champions on March 19 in Munich (0:4) that the last bankruptcy in the Bundesliga took place. Jaeckel cool: “It’s more of an incentive that Bayern don’t end our series.”
