RB Leipzig take on Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup this weekend – here we have everything you need to know regarding the fixture. The first bit of silverware in the German calendar year is up for grabs as these two giants face off.
There are plenty of new faces in Munich that will be looking to get their first taste of glory with their new sides. Sadio Mane, Matthijs de Ligt, Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui will all be itching to make an impression in their first competitive fixture, as well as Xavier Schlager for RB Leipzig – who joined from Wolfsburg for just over £10 million.
The most important bit of business in the window however for RB Leipzig was keeping hold of French international Christopher Nkunku – who was nothing short of remarkable for them last season.
He’s a key player and holding on to him may be better than any signing they could have made. We’re massively excited for the football to be back – so let’s get into things.
