Since Marco Rose has been manager of RB Leipzig, no Bundesliga club has picked up more points | 3-0 win in Rose’s first match in the reverse fixture | Record at RBL is even stronger than at his former clubs

Mainz had to settle for a goalless draw in their first home game of the season against FC Union on Sunday afternoon. It was a cagey affair in the first half and both sides failed to create anything clear-cut. However, the break seemed to breathe new life into the game and both teams went up a gear. Although the Zerofivers created the better chances, it was a still well-earned point in the soaring summer heat.

Diversity will be the theme for VfB’s home match against VfL Wolfsburg on 18 March. The hoop in rainbow colours is making its long-awaited comeback on the special “Diversity 22/23” kit.

Goals: 1-0 Siebacheu (32), 2-0 Becker (38), 2-1 Orban (82)

The Wolves are ready for the new campaign! In their sixth and final pre-season friendly of the summer, VfL Wolfsburg overcame English Premier League side Brentford 4-0.

Niko Kovac’s charges were in promising form throughout the encounter in front of 3,512 fans at the AOK Stadion, where Patrick Wimmer gave the Green-and-Whites the lead in the 27^th minute. Further efforts from Sebastiaan Bornauw (56’), Jonas Wind (66’) and Jakub Kaminski (86’) in the second half rounded out the scoreline.

The team’s first competitive game of the season is in exactly one week on Saturday 30 July (kick-off 18:00 CEST) in the first round of the DFB Cup, when they travel to the Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld – home of fourth-tier side Carl Zeiss Jena.

Bayern were nowhere to be seen at the start with the hosts unleashing a flurry of shots towards Yann Sommer’s goal in the opening 15 minutes.

Chelsea are understood to be chasing new midfield recruits in January and the summer, but manager Potter insisted the Blues’ only focus now is to help Kante recover from his latest setback.

The record game was a few days ago now. Have you already been able to process this extraordinary experience?
