All in from Xaver to the very end

Schlager's strike got the ball rolling in a tricky contest against the relegation battling Kiezkicker. RBL ultimately emerged 2-1 victors to seal Champions League qualification. Xaver emphasised after the match that the side's success was "the most important thing" and was pleased to be able to play his part in that: "I was able to relieve the team of some pressure with my goal."

Although it has been known for a while that Xaver would leave RBL on expiry of his contract, he has never given anything but his best for the collective. That comes as no surprise to us after four years of him bringing his all. A true workhorse and a team player, he is someone you love to play alongside and hate to play against.

And as if he had not already covered enough ground against St. Pauli, the 28-year-old also took part in the Wings for Life World Run the following day. Along with teammates Nicolas Seiwald, Lukas Klostermann and Leopold Zingerle, he made up one of nearly 2,800 participants in Leipzig, who took to the start line for a good cause.
