If you look at your Bundesliga standings right now, you don't see the European champions Bayern Munich on top nor do you see Borussia Dortmund or even a Champions League regular like Schalke 04.
No, don't adjust your eyes, you see the capital city's beloved club - Hertha BSC!
That's right, a crowd of over 50,000 spectators starved for top-flight football watched in awe as Hertha dominated Europa League club Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1 to move to the top of the table.
Despite hitting the goalframe three times along with two goals in the first half, Hertha showed their class and cruised ahead of next week's clash with Nurnberg.
"The performance was sensational. Now we have the first three points, we can enjoy the game a little bit. But we'll be back in everyday life very quickly. We can still improve," Hertha coach Jos Luhukay said.
It was a successful top-flight debut for John Anthony Brooks, who scored with news surfacing that he has spurned Horst Hrubesch's overtures to play for the German U-21 squad in order to join Jurgen Klinsmann's powerhouse USA squad instead this week in Bosnia.
In all, it was an amazing day in the capital and one day after Hertha's arch-rival Union Berlin knocked off Dynamo Dresden on the road. Time will tell if Hertha can maintain its position as the best team in all of Germany!
