A successful start to the week of truth: FC Basel beats the Grasshoppers 5:3 in the round of 16 in a wild game at Letzigrund. On Saturday there will be another duel in the league.
Basel competes in crisis mode in the round of 16 at GC. "Finger us em ass" can be read bluntly on a banner in the guest sector. The worst preliminary round of the Super League era, coach Alex Frei the worst FCB coach of the millennium (1.22 points per game).
