There was only one change to the side that beat Darmstadt at the weekend as Xaver Schlager returned to the team, replacing Amadou Haidara.
It was the tenth Champions League match of Xaver’s career.

David Raum’s opener was the left-back’s first goal in the Champions League. It was also the 75th goal scored by RB Leipzig in Europe’s premier club competition.
Xavi also scored his first-ever UCL goal when he made it 2-0. At 20 years and 187 days old, he became the youngest player to score and assist a goal in a Champions League game since Arjen Robben in 2003. The then 19-year-old scored for PSV Eindhoven against AEK Athens.
