A shocking defeat for European football.

Less than two weeks after creating the biggest fairytale in Swiss football, FC Thun stunned all of Europe with a crushing 3-8 defeat against Young Boys in the round of 32 on May 14th.

FC Thun suffered their sixth defeat in their last seven matches in the Swiss Super League. Notably, the team has only won one game in this incredible slump after securing the title three rounds early.

FC Thun's season was truly exceptional. Before the championship playoffs, the small team had accumulated a huge points lead over the rest. This foundation allowed them to still secure the championship despite a series of setbacks in the final stages of the season.

However, no one expected that after winning the title on May 3rd, FC Thun would almost give up. The newly crowned champions suffered a series of defeats, including a 3-8 loss to Young Boys, which became one of the most shocking results in European football at the time.

What makes FC Thun's story even more unbelievable is their humble beginnings. Just a year ago, the club was playing in the lower leagues with one of the lowest budgets in Swiss football. Upon returning to the top division, their most realistic goal was simply to avoid relegation.

However, that small team wrote a miraculous journey to win the national championship for the first time. Swiss media even considered Thun's championship victory to be a bigger sensation than Leicester City's achievement in the Premier League in the 2015/16 season.

Nevertheless, the inexplicable decline after their coronation also surprised fans. From the image of a fairytale champion, FC Thun experienced an unbelievable series of defeats after reaching the pinnacle of Swiss football.
