Rasenballsport Leipzig to be official. Liverpool’s opponent on Wednesday night as we travel to the Red Bull Arena for Liverpool’s first European clash in Germany since Bayern Munich in 2018/19.
Leipzig, manged by Marco Rose, currently sit 2nd in the Bundesliga and undefeated with 5 wins and 2 draws. However, they haven’t been so lucky in the Champions League so far, failing to score points against Atletico Madrid and Juventus in the opening two games leaves them 29th in the table. Die Roten Bullen’s European pedigree shouldn’t be underestimated as they’ve reached the knockout rounds 5 times in the last 7 attempts.
The red bull model famous for producing lots of European talent over the last few years boats immense quality. Belgium forward Luis Openda averaged a goal every 114 minutes for RB Leipzig last season and arguably went under the radar in the recent transfer window. Youngster Benjamin Šeško has been RB’s dangerman so far in Europe with 3 goals in the opening 2 loses, Xavi Simmons and Lukas Klosterman are also top internationals.
Liverpool met with Leipzig during the covid season. The knockout tie was played in the neutral venue of the Puskas Arena in Hungary due to restrictions. Liverpool won 2-0 in both games, both the goals coming from Salah and Mané. The last time the teams met at the red bull arena was in the 2022 pre-season. Liverpool were victors 5-0 with Núñez scoring 4 for the reds.
