Champions League: Leipzig To Challenge Liverpool With Striker Sesko In Spotlight
RB Leipzig CEO Marcel Schafer: Bundesliga side RB Leipzig has become familiar with Europe's legendary teams during the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League campaign. After facing Atletico Madrid and Juventus, the 2023 German Cup winners will now host Liverpool FC this Wednesday evening.
While Leipzig recorded narrow defeats against Atletico Madrid (2-1) and Juventus (3-2), their match against Liverpool offers another opportunity for the German side to make an impact. Despite the two losses, coach Marco Rose's team pushed both giants to the brink, with both games decided in the dying minutes. Liverpool, the current Premier League leaders, present a formidable challenge, but Leipzig's top scorer, Slovenian international Benjamin Sesko, will once again step into the spotlight, reports Xinhua.
Sesko has scored all three of Leipzig's Champions League goals so far, adding to his two goals and two assists in the 2024/25 Bundesliga campaign, which was a clear sign of the 21-year-old's rising form.
