Saarbrücken are knocking on the doors of history

You often hear about a underdog beating a big side in a cup tie. How about a third division side beating the eleven time defending first division champions? Not only did Saarbrücken beat Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal, but they have also dumped Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Monchengladbach out of the competition.

Tonight, they face second division Kaiserslautern for a chance to go to the final and face either Fortuna Dusseldorf or Bayer Leverkusen. Winning the cup would mean a place in the Europa League next season, for a side 10th in the 3rd tier of German football. Even if they lose tonight, Saarbrücken have already made more in prize money from this run, than their entire team is worth. They are already winners.
