The third European Cup qualification in a row for Union Berlin is becoming more and more realistic. In the 2-0 win against Frankfurt someone hits who has already been raised in front of the goal because of the harmlessness.
Ten points ahead with nine games to go: Union Berlin is reaching for the international hat-trick in the Bundesliga.
After the 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, the renewed qualification for the European Cup is very likely, even the chances of the Champions League have increased for the new third in the table. “We want to play Europe next year. In the end, we’ll see what it is enough for,” said Union goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow after the 14th victory in the 25th Bundesliga season.
After the qualification for the Conference League 2021 and the Europa League 2022, which has ended the Belgian first division club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise the previous week for the Iron, the team of coach Urs Fischer is still on the premier class. However, Rönnow sees the ticket – no matter for which international competition – not booked for a long time.
Union have had a “great season” so far, “but there are still nine games in which we always have to give our best”. The goalkeeper, which has been acting in impressive form for weeks, contributed to the best and also destroyed the opponent’s top -class opportunities against Frankfurt.
Khedira: “Feels good”
Rani Khedira was also thanks to the fact that after the previous zero numbers in the league home games against Schalke and Cologne again in the stadium sold out with 22,012 spectators at the old forester’s shop. He not only ran as a replacement captain for the diseased Christopher Trimmel, but also scored the groundbreaking 1-0 (53rd minute) after a corner from Niko Gießelmann.
The premier goal of the midfield organizer for Union was one with an announcement: Khedira had previously been raised by his colleagues with questions about his first goal at lunch.
“Actually, I wanted to run towards the bank because Sven Michel had raised me the most at lunch. Then I was pulled in the other direction and at some point I was lying among everyone. But it feels good,” said Khedira about his seventh. Goal in 194 Bundesliga games that increased Union’s chances of qualifying for the third European Cup in a row. “The goal came at the right time and helped us,” said coach Fischer.
