I don't remember Union Berlin joining the Champions League before. This must be their first time I assume. Therefore they are going to be an inexperienced team in the tournament. However I'm pretty sure they will care about it much more than the Europa League. Because they can increase their income significantly by getting positive results as much as possbile.
They need to get lucky with the draw as well though. If they have a really tough group in which all teams look challenging then Union Berlin might not do much. Even if they drop down to the Europa League at the end it would be great for them anyway.
Exactly. It is the first time that Union Berlin will play in the Champions League. Last season they have played in the Uefa Cup. Considering that they were only promoted to Bundesliga 1 in the 2019 season they have made a great performance. In 2021 they have already qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League and last year, as written, they have reached the Uefa Cup.
