Hertha BSC vs Union Berlin LIVE: Bundesliga result, final score and reaction
Follow live coverage as Hertha BSC take on Union Berlin in the Bundesliga today.
Bayern Munich remain the team to beat in the German top flight with Julian Nagelsmann's juggernaut side 31-time winners of the competition.
Boasting some of the best players in the world such as Sadio Mane, Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer they are always favourites to retain their league crown.
Rivals Borussia Dortmund traditionally push them the closest and have won the title five times, most recently back in 2012 under Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Borussia Mönchengladbach were a force in the Seventies winning the league five times but are without a champion team since while Werder Bremen, Hamburg and Stuttgart are all multi-time winners too.
RB Leipzig are the newest kids on the block and backed by energy drinks manufacturer Red Bull are now threatening to challenge for a first title of their own.

That is the final whistle. Union were superb. Calm when needed to be, clinical when necessary. They caught Hertha out on the break with devastating speed, their back 3 imperious. Hertha played well, but maybe lacked an edge and a little bit of luck. All in, a superb win. Eisern!! pic.twitter.com/kx0hLjPdjT

That's half time. Hertha were good for most of it, and had the better chances. But Union were happy to wait. To spring their set-piece trap when the chance arose, and in Doekhi they have an almost sure thing. His header was superb. One nil.#BSCFCU | #fcunion | 0-1 | 45' pic.twitter.com/IYcd8VWDyE
