If winning a league in a country is difficult, Imagine it in two different countries. If few teams can boast of having played in more than one league, probably very few have achieved the feat performed in 1941 Rapid Vienna. With the annexation of Austria to Germany, Rapid went on to compete in competitions German assiduously.

After winning the German Cup 1938, The following company seemed more complicated: winning the Bundesliga. We can say that at that time (until the season 63-64), Bundesliga had a similar format to the current Champions, where various groups were formed according to the “Gauss” or regions and the winners of each Gaus had access to another second phase also formed by different teams to finally qualify for semifinals and the great final.Pero it was a matter of time and the club now Austrian capital proved stronger in the end disputed in Berlin, in which he beat Schalke 04 by 4-3 after tracing a handicap of three goals. A feat that seems difficult, almost impossible to repeat again.
