The RB Leipzig Courier
Player ratings7 Dec 2026
A brace, and Rômulo takes the afternoon — 8.77
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Rômulo provided it, and the 8.77 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Match5 Dec 2026
RB Leipzig make it 4 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now RB Leipzig have 4 straight wins of it.
Market7 Dec 2026
Samu Aghehowa wants more than RB Leipzig are offering
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.
Match5 Dec 2026
6 goals as RB Leipzig and VfL Wolfsburg go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between RB Leipzig and VfL Wolfsburg, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.
Match5 Dec 2026
RB Leipzig get the job done against VfL Wolfsburg
A 4‑2 win over VfL Wolfsburg, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
The dugout7 Dec 2026
The manager makes an example of Johan Bakayoko
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Squad7 Dec 2026
Antonio Nusa is the month’s best young player
At 21 he was better than everybody his age in the division for four weeks running, which is harder than one good afternoon. RB Leipzig will try not to make too much of it.
Squad7 Dec 2026
RB Leipzig lose Michael Arnold
16 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Aljoscha Kemlein in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at RB Leipzig this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
