In terms of rating, Hertha Berlin is a bigger club than all those teams u just mentioned. If u want to know more u can check the records of Mainz, Stuttgart, and even Cologne they will be playing by the weekend. Hertha Berlin is a well-known team in Germany who has been very outstanding in performance some years back. u will agree with me that even though the club no more has the charisma it use to be, it will not underperform against these little clubs that just gained strength recently in German football. When playing against Cologne, Don't be surprised when u see the score board in favour of Hertha Berlin.
Every club in the Bundesliga is big, German football is very strong internationally. Currently looks like they are not so good to playing in the 1st Bundesliga. There are many more good teams in the past. More than 50 years ago, even FC Schalke 04 was German champion 6 times in 9 years. Or Hamburger SV was in the Bundesliga for many years and also won the German championship. But that is all over, you can’t change the past, but you can change the future. Today it is all about of money and a lot of advertising in the social media. That brings even more money for the players and the clubs, and i think it will stay that way.
FC Köln score 1:0.
