But their celebrations were short-lived after the club finished rock bottom in the debut season and immediately returned to the second tier.

Paderborn have a strong and loyal following in Germany
The 2016/17 season brought more misery and the club finished in the relegation zone, but instead of dropping down to the Regonalliga, Paderborn experienced a dramatic twist of fate.

It proved a turning point for the club, who have gone on to achieve back-to-back promotions to write one of German football’s true fairytales.
That said, I’m sure they’d settle for a nice, boring mid-table finish next season.
