Challenging the Champions
November 2014
Hertha 4 - 0 Bayern Munich
Ramos 53', 62' pen, Origi 77', 90'
Last season's champions got humiliated on the full Olympiastadion. Hertha were simply the better team. The first half was pretty boring but in the second half Hertha took over the match completely. Adrian Ramos cut in from the left, dribbled past Boateng and Dante and he put the ball to the top corner with a powerful shot. About 10 minutes later the Colombian got his second from the spot after a call for handball. Later the young Belgian, Divock Origi got two goals to his name, both from counter attacks. Ganchev's side didn't give any space for Bayern to create attacks.
Hertha 4 - 0 Twente, Champions League
Schär 21', Lasogga 34', Stocker 47', Origi 74'

Hertha 2 - 1 Atletico Madrid, Champions League

Diego Costa 87'
A pretty boring game which ended up in the Berliners taking their fifth win in the Champions League. The penalty got called when Enner Valencia tried chipping the ball over the keeper which ended up in a penalty. Ten minutes later it was the Ecuadorian himself who scored Hertha's second when he received a long pass from Valentin Stocker. This time the striker succeeded in the chip. Before the end Arda Turan crossed from the left and Costa headed the ball to the net. With one game left Ganchev's side secured first place in their group unbeaten.
Hertha 1 - 0 Hamburger SV
Ramos 65'
