Unfancied Union Berlin found themselves on the verge of a title challenge as they came into 2036 just two points off the top of Bundesliga with multiple games in hand. But could the unlikely challengers maintain their stunning form?
Some bizarre league form had seen Union Berlin competing towards the top of Bundesliga with a perfect home record and atrocious away record. But a first taste of European football had seen them breeze through an easy set of Europa Conference League league phase matches.
Union Berlin enjoyed a strong second season in Bundesliga as Ruprecht Prusseit's young squad secured a 7th-place finish. At first, Union were told they'd missed out on European football due to Leverkusen winning the cup but, for some reason, Freburg were bumped up to the Europa League and Union took their place in the Europa Conference League.
