Forsberg is the Bundesliga’s all-time number one

In RB Leipzig’s first Bundesliga season, Emil Forsberg set a historic record that has not been beaten to date. In 2016/17, the Swedish international managed 22 assists in one season. Only Thomas Müller (FC Bayern Munich) came close to Emil’s record three times in a row (21 assists each), but was unable to beat it. As a result, the attacking midfielder also leads the list of RB Leipzig’s top assist providers in the Bundesliga.
