It's not an illusion. It has happened. Leicester played in the third division in 2008-2009 and won the Premier League 7 years later.
Leipzig used to only play in a regional division 10 years ago and are now in the top of the Bundes Liga and reached the semi-finals of the champions league.
Although rare and improbable it does keep a dream alive for many fans. And dreams are part of the entertainment.
It can also go the other way around. Schalke 04 used to be a top 5 Bundes Liga team and are now relegated. This drama is exactly what makes the football pyramid charming.
