Hertha Berlin are the biggest club from the capital and largest city in Germany, the most successful country in European football.
In theory, therefore, Hertha BSC should be one of the top teams in the Bundesliga and in the UEFA Champions League, and following the largest investment in the history of German football in 2019 and 2020, it looked as though that ambition could become a reality.
Yet, just a few years on from qualifying for the Europa League in consecutive seasons, Hertha Berlin were very nearly relegated this season, and will be among the favourites to make the drop next season.
So in this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at what has gone wrong at Hertha, both before and since Lars Windhorst invested in the club, the complexities of football in Berlin, and how Hertha's chaos has led them to such a profound crossroads this summer.
