RB Leipzig won the league this Saturday thanks to Xavi Simons and Loïs Openda, who have been shining since the start of the season.
If it seems impossible to keep up with Bayer Leverkusen this season, the fight for European places still rages in the Bundesliga. This Saturday, Borussia Dortmund (4th) made a misstep by conceding a draw against Wolfsburg, leaving RB Leizpig the opportunity to come back to just one point in the standings.
Simons and Openda, winning duo
Opposed to Borussia Mönchengladbach, Marco Rose’s men relied on former Ligue 1 players to win. A quarter of an hour into the game, the former Paris Saint-Germain player Xavi Simons opened the scoring with a long shot. The Dutch international has 6 goals and 7 assists in 21 league matches.
In the second period, it’s the ex-Lensois Lois Openda who shook the nets to make the break. The Belgian striker also adapted perfectly to his new team as he scored his 16th goal of the season in the German championship, in which he also distributed four assists.
