After Bayern Munich’s failure to advance past Paris Saint-Germain, SC Freiburg will now be the sole team represented in a European final this season. They’ve done so in massively impressive fashion, turning around a tie against Braga this past week in beautiful scenes which saw Freiburg reach their first ever European final.
Photos and videos captured of the special fan moments after the victory have gone viral, and for good reason. SC Freiburg’s tale is a great sports story of a tale that is massively outperforming its size and budget. A club with minimal historical success has become a mainstay in the Bundesliga in recent years and have been putting in European bids now for a good stretch of time. Kompany recently chimed in on the club’s success.
“Everything about Freiburg is positive. A small club that builds everything from its own resources. They have a philosophy, a vision. Julian (Schuster) deserves a lot of respect – but so does the entire team that makes the decisions with him. It’s fantastic for German football, a really good example for many other clubs. We hope they win this trophy for German football, too,” Kompany said about Freiburg reaching the Europa League final, as captured by @iMiaSanMia.
All of Germany will certainly be cheering for Freiburg to win it all in Istanbul on May 20th, and more prize winnings for a German football usually means more money invested, better players, better competition, which only benefits the league.
