In the football world, RB Leipzig might still considered as an upstart. Founded in 2009, the club takes the pitch of their home games in The Red Bull Arena, nestled in Germany's sporting landscape. Though mere babes in comparison with some of the century-old entities they compete against, Leipzig's progress has been what one could consider meteoric.
A sizable portion behind their upward trajectory is their well-stocked ensemble of players. RB Leipzig can boast a squad with an average age of two dozen years- a youthful line-up indeed. The playing squad doesn't just exude youth but also value, possessing a total market value of roughly £424m, as recorded by Transfermarkt.
This season has seen RB Leipzig expressing their footballing talents in three competitions of note. As it stands, they hold the 6th place in the Bundesliga, a renowned German football league. Their cups runneth over into the DFB-Pokal where they have advanced, with some flair, to the Semi-Finals. Then there is the illustrious UEFA Champions League, where Leipzig have held their own in the gruelling League Phase. From a broader vantage point, the club's endeavours across multiple competitions bespeaks a balance and range that many clubs strive for.
