They were thought to be cursed, condemned to be only those who do not go far from going up, but ultimately fail from not much. But this year, Hamburg has broken the bad spell. Historical club of Bundesliga, the HSV had experienced the first descent in the history of the club in 2018, and seemed scheduled to immediately go up. Yes but here, between failures in the dam, bad series at the end of the season or simply opponents too strong for them, the teammates of David Selke have missed too often.
Except that this time it is the right one. Thanks to his overwhelming victory against Ulm (6-1), Hamburg ensured a place among the first two of Bundesliga, and thus an official rise without going through the dams. A defeat which also condemned his adversary to relegation. The Hamburgers will even compete in a last meeting with the title online from the cross next week on the lawn of Greuther Furth. Unfortunately, the party was spoiled since 25 people were injured on Saturday evening at the Volksparkstadion of Hamburg, one of which is “between life and death” according to the firefighters of the second city of Germany, during the celebrations of the ascent.
