Now the FCZ is suddenly dreaming of the miracle of Europe

The outgoing FCZ legend Blerim Dzemaili (37) ends his brilliant career with the minimum goal of staying in the league. But hold on! After winning the derby, the game winner reveals that he wants to give his FCZ a bigger parting gift than just a stay in the Super League.

“Now we have to try to get 5th place. That would mean a place in the European Cup. That is our goal now. It would be very important for the club’, says Dzemaili, who became the fairytale match winner with the winning goal in his last derby.

Europe actually seemed within reach during the strong FCZ phase after the winter break, but Zurich remained stuck in 8th place for months. Will the coup still succeed with the jump to 5th place? That would entitle YB and Lugano to start in Conference League qualifiers due to participation in the cup final.

Six points as a goal against Winterthur and Lugano

Zurich dreams of miracles. Dzemaili: “We still want to take six points.” The opponents: on Thursday in Winterthur on the Schützenwiese and on Whit Monday in Lugano in the Letzigrund.

FCZ coach Bo Henriksen (48) also says: “Since I started here in October, it’s about preventing relegation. That’s over now. Now we have something to gain. Whether we finish fifth is not in our hands. Overtaking three teams will be difficult. But we’ll try to get six points and then we’ll see where we end up.”

Zurich is the worst placed team in a quartet that is only two points apart and is now in a final sprint for Europe around Pentecost. For the FCZ: Basel, GC and St. Gallen.

For the dethroned champion FCZ it would be a dreamy end to a season that started historically disastrous with the flop for coach Franco Foda (57) and only four points in the first ten games. Bitter for Zurich: If Henriksen had been leading since the start of the season with his point average of 1.54, he would have been in 3rd place – and would already be in the European Cup.
