The Meaning of the Trio

RB Leipzig scored 97 goals in all competitive matches in the 2023/24 season…

• …If you include the assists from Xavi (15), Lois (7) and Benjamin (2), you get a total of 80 goal involvements. That means: The three of them had their feet directly involved in 83 percent of all RBL goals.

Goal Mark Surpassed
