The 2017-18 campaign for Hertha BSC saw Die Alte Dame secure a stable mid-table finish, ending 10th in the Bundesliga under the guidance of manager Pál Dárdai. Spearheading the attack was the veteran forward Salomon Kalou, whose 12 league goals were crucial in a season that also featured a run in the UEFA Europa League group stage and saw Davie Selke emerge as the top scorer across all competitions. It was a year of consolidation that cemented the club's status in the top flight, highlighted by moments of individual brilliance, including Kalou's memorable equalizer against champions Bayern Munich.
