Emerging from the embers in 2009, RB Leipzig have carved a niche for themselves in the heartlands of German football. Home ground and fortress alike to the young yet ambitious team, The Red Bull Arena emits an aura reminiscent of footballing tradition, albeit on German soil.
The assembly of players at RB Leipzig is valued at a tantalising £345m, as per the records of Transfermarkt. Such sums are not tossed about lightly in football, hinting at a significant cache of talent within the team.
Composed of 19 skilled pursuers of the leather sphere, the team boasts an average age of 25. This fact speaks volumes about Leipzig's evident belief in the dynamism of youth and the energy it brings to the pitch.
Despite the comparatively recent establishment, Leipzig has been tenacious in marking their presence, battling competitively in two tournaments this season. Their endeavours in the Bundesliga have been fruitful, nestling in a comfortable fourth place. The DFB-Pokal, Germany's premier knockout cup competition, witnessed a determined Leipzig stride to the Quarter-Finals, a testament to the team's burgeoning capabilities.
