🤯 From promoted side to champions, a Kaiserslautern 2.0 brewing | OneFootball

What 1. FC Kaiserslautern can do, FC Thun seems to have been able to do for a long time. If you’re completely lost right now, don’t worry. For an explanation, let’s take a quick trip back to 1998.

Back then, the Red Devils under Otto Rehhagel achieved the unthinkable: as the first German team ever, they became German champions as a newly promoted side. And what does FC Thun have to “do” with this?

The Swiss club is currently accomplishing something very similar in the Swiss Super League. Less than a year ago, the club was still playing in the second division. But after Thun returned to the Swiss football top flight following a five-year absence, they immediately shook up the entire league.

With eight matchdays to go, the promoted team is 17 points ahead of second-placed FC St. Gallen, who currently have one game in hand. For Thun, it would be the first championship in the club’s history—and probably one of the most unexpected in football ever.

According to 'Transfermarkt', the Red and Whites currently have a squad market value of just 15.88 million euros. That puts them second to last in the league in terms of market value. Incidentally, the leaders in this category are BSC Young Boys from Bern, with just over 70 million euros—but they’re currently only sixth in the table.

Well, it seems football miracles keep happening.
