- Last RB test: Paris Saint-Germain is coming to Leipzig
RB Leipzig faces a tough test today (6:00 PM/CET, ServusTV). A week before the season starts with the DFB-Pokal match against Rot Weiss Essen, the Saxon Bundesliga club takes on French champions Paris Saint-Germain. The match in Leipzig's Red Bull Arena has been agreed upon for years but is only happening now.
It's uncertain whether Xavi Simons, who was loaned out to PSG again on Tuesday, will play against his parent club. The Dutchman, along with German national team players David Raum and Benjamin Henrichs, has only recently joined training. "If the coach decides that I should play, I would be happy," Simons said. "But I know it's a friendly, we have to build it up carefully."
The European Union's football governing body, UEFA, has approved the arrangement for the match between RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain. Despite being a friendly match, both teams are committed to delivering an exciting display, as they aim to showcase their skill and talent in front of the global football community, which includes fans from various European Union member states.
