The German Football Weekly - RB Leipzig: The Preview
The Bundesliga season is just a matter of days away, so it’s time to preview every side ahead of another exciting campaign. Today… RB Leipzig The Story of Last Season:After 13 years and 6 seasons in the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig have finally ended their wait for a first major title.
