🚨 Official: a historic club returns to the Bundesliga | OneFootball

Schalke 04 are back in the Bundesliga.

Just one year after being relegated to the second tier, the Gelsenkirchen club have secured an immediate return to the top flight.

Their 1-0 win over Fortuna Düsseldorf this Saturday sealed a promotion long awaited by an entire blue-and-white people.

Above all, this comeback means that the fiery Ruhr derby between Schalke and Borussia Dortmund will once again set the German calendar alight from next season.

While the celebrations are in full swing at the Veltins-Arena, fans are now turning their attention to the bottom of the top-flight table: Bundesliga diehards hope that Hamburg (15th) and Wolfsburg (17th), two other strongholds of German football, will manage to stay up to avoid crossing paths with Schalke in the lift.
