 Union Berlin won a landslide 6-1 victory over its host Schalke on Saturday, in the fourth stage, to achieve its third victory this season, and is second in the competition standings with 10 points, with a goal difference behind Bayern Munich (the leaders).

 Beware Bayern

 Union Berlin, which still maintains its unbeaten record in the tournament, will meet its guest, Bayern Munich, the champion of the competition in the last ten seasons, next Saturday.

 And the German newspaper (BZ) wrote: "Mad Union" in its front page headline, today, Sunday, and also titled "Beware, Bayern... Union Berlin as a formation and performance in the position of seeking to win the championship."

 As for the German newspaper, "Berliner Zeitung", it wrote, "Be careful, Bayern. Union has a higher quality of performance than it was in the previous season."

 Union Berlin achieved the biggest victory in its young history in the German Bundesliga, which began in 2019, and is the latest sign of how much improvement in the performance of its players, but they are firmly established on the pitch.

good batch

 Union Berlin coach Urs Fischer admitted that the competition for the top spot after 4 matches is a good boost for some, but he is "only interested in the team's position after the end of the final stage of the championship."

 "Preparing to face Bayern will require significant improvement," Fischer warned.

 For his part, Japanese Maya Yoshida, a Schalke player, felt the need to recall Leicester's amazing achievement in the English Premier League 6 years ago.

 Speaking of Union Berlin players, Yoshida said: "They are not as good as Bayern but they are tough and play well - just like Leicester a few years ago."

 Union Berlin dreams of winning for the first time against Bayern Munich in the seventh confrontation between the two teams, where the Bavarian team achieved 4 victories against two draws.

 For his part, Thomas Muller, Bayern player, admitted the difficulty of facing Union Berlin, saying, "They play their own style. You generally don't like to play against them."
