1. When RBL clicked

RBL found the net 66 times over the course of the campaign, with three matches accounting for a big share of that total. In the first half of the season, we beat both Augsburg and Frankfurt 6-0, before recording a 5-0 win over Hoffenheim at the Red Bull Arena during the run-in – a crucial result in the race for Champions League qualification.

Two Leipzig players had more reason to celebrate than most this season: Christoph Baumgartner and Yan Diomande. Baumi scored 13 goals, including four braces, coming at home to Hamburg, Dortmund and Hoffenheim, as well as away at Köln.

Yan finished on 12 goals, including a hat-trick at home against Eintracht Frankfurt. Having only recently turned 19, he became the second-youngest player to score a hat-trick in Bundesliga history!

Baumi and Yan registered 41 goal involvements between them, with eight assists each underlining the attacking threat they carried. That was enough to put both players among the Bundesliga’s top 10 for goal involvements this season.

Captain David Raum was one of the players supplying them, laying on 96 shots for RBL teammates – the most of anyone in the league.
