Having been established in the year of our lord 2009, RB Leipzig is a fairly fledgeling outfit despite its ambitions. They host their football battles at The Red Bull Arena, tucked in the heart of Germany.
According to both common wisdom and the numerical punditry of Transfermarkt, the total market value of RB Leipzig's band of merry men straddles around the tidy sum of £424m. A noteworthy frugality to it all, considering the financial muscle displayed by some of their Continental contemporaries.
RB Leipzig boasts a contingent of 26 players, as diverse as they are youthful, sporting a sprightly average age of 25 years. A youthful vigour, one might say, that stands them in good stead for the long haul, given the rigour of multiple competitions.
Their engagements for the season have been spread across three battlefronts, namely the Bundesliga, where they hold the 5th spot, the DFB-Pokal where semi-finals are in sight, and they've had a reasonable run in the Champions League, up to and including the League Phase. The lads seem to have their work cut out for them, don't they.
