The present Borussia Monchengladbach side is dubbed Borussia Barcelona. Nice triangle passes.

When Lucien Favre took over at Moenchengladbach a year ago on 14 Feb 2011, they were bottom of the Bundesliga with just 16 points from 22 games.
Since then, they have accumulated 66 points from 34 games. 20 points from the remaining 12 games last season saw them avoid relegation via a play-off. This season, 46 points from 22 games sees them second to Borussia Dortmund.
Quite a change in fortune.
The Bundesliga is the only football I watch regularly now.

They are currently second in the table, but with smaller crowds (average attendance of 51,000 this season), versus: 80,000 for first-placed Borussia Dortmund, 69,000 for third-placed Bayern Munich 61,000 for fourth-placed Schalke 04
I love underdogs!
