Jude Bellinhgam's side is in woeful form, falling to eighth place on the table
One-hit wonder or not, Union Berlin are surprisingly leading the race in the German championship, ahead of much more respected sides. Among the others, definitely the one from Signal Iduna Park, which keeps declining rapidly. It continued the same for Borussia Dortmund on Sunday at the German capital, as the home team, Union Berlin, knocked down the favourites 2-0 to keep dreaming.
It's hard to believe what's happened here. Union have outplayed Borussia Dortmund. They have been courageous and skilful; faster, better, stronger. The Unioner were magnificent, without them this means nothing. There will be tears amongst the Kuemmeerlings in Köpenick tonight. pic.twitter.com/DnppjK6FAr

Two early goals of Janik Haberer cleared the path for the hosts to clinch a massive win confronted with the Champions League regular.
Despite the expectations of BVB's resurrection, it didn't happen in Berlin, as the packed stands pushed their heroes to another wonderful success.
Bundesliga clubs were crying that Bayern has all the money and that they can’t compete with them. JUST LOOK AT UNION BERLIN. They aren’t crying and have challenged Bayern more than Dortmund or any other team have in the last 10 years. Obviously part of this is Bayern’s poor form.

A visible drop in form makes it almost impossible for Jude Bellingham's squad to stay near the top, and, with it, the chances of playing in the Champions League or even the Europa League next season are diminishing in front of their eyes.
