Hamburger SV is finally back in the Bundesliga: After seven years in the second tier, the 'Rothosen' have achieved their long-awaited return. The former Bundesliga giant HSV will now travel to Germany's major football cities – for example, to Munich, where FC Bayern Munich is already waiting for the promoted team on the 3rd matchday.
What happens next?
The HSV has finally made it back to the Bundesliga after numerous failed attempts. This means that the 'Rothosen' will once again compete at the highest level in the Nordderby against SV Werder Bremen, the inner-city prestige duel against local rival FC St. Pauli – and after seven years, they will finally be compared to FC Bayern again.
What is the current situation?

What does this mean for HSV?
The promoted team David wins against the record champion Goliath and ends a long negative streak on their return to their former title rival. But these are stories that football can write. And for HSV, it would be a big exclamation mark after a dry spell, indicating that their comeback in the top tier of German football is not a short interlude.
The HSV also has some injured players, such as R. Glatzel and A. Rossing-Lelesiit. The fans hope that the team will soon be complete again and can celebrate further successes.
