Basel out of control: after FC Basel became Swiss champions for the 21st time early on Sunday evening, the celebrations on Barfüsserplatz were in full swing.
Unofficially, the Basel celebrations began late on Saturday evening after the 5:2 victory in Lugano. The following day, the team watched the match between Servette and Young Boys together in St. Jakob Park, where the Muttenzer curve also gathered on the platform outside. And then finally switched into celebration mode.
When the 0:0 and thus Basel's championship title after an eight-year drought was a mathematical fact, the crowd moved from the balcony of the stadium office to Barfüsserplatz after the team's first championship greetings. Gradually, the square, where the ESC's accompanying program also takes place, was transformed into a red and blue field of jubilation. The team celebrated on the balcony of the "Papa Joe's" and fueled the atmosphere via a microphone.

FCB fans meet ESC fans
It just so happens that the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) is taking place in Basel at the same time - and around Barfüsserplatz. A problem? No.
The canton of Basel-Stadt announced in a press release on Saturday evening that the music on the stage at Barfi would be silenced a little earlier in the event of the championship title, as it would be a new "highlight of the ESC starting program". The team would appear on the balcony at Barfüsserplatz from 8.30 p.m. at the earliest and be celebrated by the fans.
