Every season tells its own story. Last season – and there is no doubt about it – was disappointing for us. Nevertheless: The story certainly has an exciting plot. And a positive end with the thrilling fan activity for the derby against FC Köln, staying up and the final 6-2 victory away to Hertha Berlin at the Olympic Stadium. And there were one or two highlights over the course of the campaign. One example came in the Champions League group stage with the 1-0 win against Tottenham at Wembley Stadium.
Anybody wanting to look back at the 2016/17 season can see that in detail on our new website. That is why there is the Season heading on the left navigation bar at the top.

Just in time for the start of the school year, everyone was hard at work again at NaturGut Ophoven.
