The 2020-21 campaign was a sensational, historic season for 1. FC Union Berlin as Eisern Union soared to a spectacular 7th-place finish in their second-ever Bundesliga season. This dream result, achieved under manager Urs Fischer, secured a coveted spot in the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League. Leading the charge was the returning cult hero Max Kruse, whose 11 goals and playmaking ability proved decisive in a campaign built on an incredible defensive unit and fighting spirit. The year is immortalized by being the only team in the Bundesliga to remain unbeaten against champions Bayern Munich, marking a defining chapter of the club's dramatic rise.
