The Athletic is joining the Champions League campaign of Union Berlin who played regional football in the fourth tier less than 20 years ago
For Union, who were playing regional football in the fourth tier less than 20 years ago and had never been in Germany’s top flight until 2019, it seems scarcely believable.
Trimmel was pictured on the club’s website last Thursday sitting on a throne, wearing a special edition black and gold Champions League jersey that had been released on sale earlier that morning. Rewind to the early 1990s, not long after the Berlin Wall came down, and Arbeit could have almost counted the spectators at Union.
The interview is scheduled for 12.30pm and Christopher Trimmel breaks with all footballer convention by walking through the door bang on time. Union’s right wing-back offers a warm handshake and starts as he means to go on. Unlike some clubs, it has always been a case of each to their own at Union, where the journeyman striker Kevin Behrens went home on a push-bike after scoring a hat-trick of headers in a 4-1 victory against Mainz this season.
