😳 Side lose 8-3 at home before lifting champions' trophy in Europe | OneFootball

Can you imagine seeing your team suffer a resounding 8-3 defeat at home?

Such a thrashing could lead to a coach being fired, for example, and spark an endless crisis.

But that scoreline ended up taking a back seat, since FC Thun, the team run over by Young Boys, was waiting for the greatest achievement in its history: lifting the Swiss championship trophy.

After five straight seasons in the local second division, FC Thun returned to the top flight by winning the 24/25 Challenge League. 

And they made history by brushing aside the favorites and celebrating the Swiss Super League title right after that return.

It is the club’s greatest achievement in 128 years of history. It was made even bigger by qualification for the 2026/2027 Champions League.

The trophy had become a certainty since the 3rd, when they were beaten by Basel and saw St. Gallen, their rival, also lose.

They had to wait two more rounds to celebrate. And it happened after the 11-goal game in front of their home fans.

The first half even had FC Thun ahead after Young Boys had opened the scoring.

But the visitors turned it around before halftime and also went a man up after Burki was sent off (43').

Then came the second half, another red card for Thun, and a Young Boys rout.

Despite the historic scoreline, the visitors missed out on a place in European competition. The same happened to Basel and Sion.

St. Gallen (2nd) and Lugano (3rd) will represent the country in the Conference.
