Union Berlin are shaking up the Bundesliga, sitting top ahead of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund

Union Berlin are unbeaten in the Bundesliga and sit top of the table. They are two points ahead of Borussia Dortmund. Bayern Munich are fifth in Bundesliga. Union beat Wolfsburg 2-0 last weekend. Their previous wins came against Hertha Berlin, RB Leipzig and Schalke. They drew with Bayern 1-1. The fans are excited. It's a rare success for an upstart team. German football's establishment doesn't like it.

Union Berlin are top of the Bundesliga. Union played fourth-tier football as recently as 2006. They were relegated in 2009 and promoted to the top division in 2012. Their fans have been instrumental in their success. They are hoping to play in the Champions League next season. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are second and third. The team is unbeaten.

Union Berlin are currently top of the Bundesliga. Kit Holden's book 'Scheisse! [S***] We're going up!' is the first English-language work about Union, their history and culture. The book draws parallels between the changing face of Berlin as a city post-reunification and the current state of flux at Union. Union had 6,500 members in 2010 but they have almost 40,000 today. Their stadium holds over 22,00 fans. Swiss coach Fischer has lifted them to unprecedented heights since arriving in 2018. He plays a 3-5-2 formation and his team is ruthless with the ball.
