Union Berlin will appear in the Champions League for the 2023/2024 season, surely with the level of competition there is so tight, they need some additional players to bring in to strengthen their squad. Reportedly, they are now approaching Robin Gosens, who is currently playing at INter Milan. Reportedly they have reached a personal agreement with the player, only they submit an offer to Inter Milan as the owner of this player.
Robin Gosens is a player who plays regularly with INter Milan, and Union Berlin thinks he is the player they need to make them more solid especially in defense.
Union Berlin did well last season in the Bundesliga and also did well in the Europa League. But I am not sure that the new player from Inter will be able to help them much in the Champions League, where there is a huge competition among the giant clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG and of course Manchester City. I think a good outcome for Union Berlin would be to qualify for the Europa League again where they would be much more comfortable.
If you measure the level of competition in the Champions League, it is certainly difficult for Union Berlin to compete there with top clubs that have become regulars in the Champions League. But that doesn't mean they don't have a chance, yes although maybe their chances are quite small.
But I personally want to see them be able to bring out all their abilities so that they become a competitor worthy of consideration.
I think the opposite, when they recruit new players who they think can strengthen their squad, it is a hope. But again we'll see what they will be like in the Champions League next season.
I agree with what you said Union berlin in the champions league would be a little bit impossible because the big club competition is there and Union berlin is actually better suited to try to be better in the european leagues.
In the European league, I think Union Berlin will have no trouble testing its performance to try to get a trophy because I also saw last season that Union Berlin has also performed very well and has potential in the European league rather than the Champions League.
I don't think you should give up hope for clubs that will be playing in the Champions League, because that would be underestimating them. Although I won't deny that Union Berlin will probably be better prepared to be in the Europa League.
If they are a bit lucky, then they will be in a group that allows them to be ranked 2nd for example. And also in the knockout round if they are lucky they will meet a club that can be said to be the same as them. Last season, there was actually a surprise from a dark horse club like Club Brugge although in the end they were not too strong to reach the higher rounds.
