The tale of RB Leipzig begins in 2009, a relatively new squad in the grand scheme of football. One can find them churning up the grass at The Red Bull Arena, right in ye heart of Germany. Aye, this may seem an unconventional home ground, yet for this squad, it is a fortification.
The worth that this club brings to the table, in terms of sheer talent, is quite comely, putting modest teams to shame. Their total market value is an astounding £338m according to Transfermarkt. One might raise an eyebrow for a club of such recent creation having so much material wealth.
The team comprises a compact list of 19 players, what it might lack in quantity, it makes up for in quality. Every player donning the RB Leipzig crest aligns with an average age of 25, indicating a young, lively, and eager squad, thirsting for glory.
This season has seen RB Leipzig leave their mark in 2 competitions. They've carved out a respectable 4th place in the Bundesliga, which is no mean feat. In addition, they’ve marched to the Quarter-Finals of the DFB-Pokal. These exploits provide evidence of their growing influence on the domestic and continental stage.
