Squad Facts

Marco Rose made four changes compared to the last Bundesliga game: Benjamin Henrichs, Amadou Haidara, Dani Olmo and Benjamin Sesko were all allowed to start.
The starting eleven was the same as in the 1-1 draw in the Champions League second leg against Real Madrid.
Amadou Haidara saw his fifth yellow card of the season and will therefore miss the next game against Mainz 05.
Xavi received a yellow card for the sixth time this season in the Bundesliga.

RB Leipzig have won four of their last five Bundesliga games.
RBL has not lost any of its last six matcheswith 1. FC Köln (three wins, three draws), including two dominant wins this year with a combined 11-1 goal difference.

Amadou Haidara played his 175th competitive game for RB Leipzig. This means he is already in 12th place in all-time appearances for RB Leipzig.
Yussuf Poulsen scored his 90th goal for RB Leipzig. Only Daniel Frahn (93) and Timo Werner (113) have scored more.

With the five goals in Köln, we have increased our goal tally in the Bundesliga to 60 goals.
Xavi conjured up his seventh goal of the season against Köln. And they’ve been crucial ones – six of his seven goals this season made it 1-0.
Xavi scored his last five Bundesliga goals in the opening quarter of an hour.
Lois Openda scored his seventh and eight since the halfway mark of the season. Only Harry Kane can match that number in the Bundesliga this year.
Openda also scored two goals in the first matchup between these two teams this season. Two of his three career Bundesliga braces have now come against FC.
Openda’s header to make it 3-1 was our eleventh header goal.
Lois Openda‘s 19 Bundesliga goals are spread over 16 games, only Timo Werner has scored more goals at this point in the season for RBL (28 goals in 17 games in the 2019/20 season).
Amadou Haidara scored again after 19 goalless Bundesliga games. It was his first goal of the season.
Like last time in Bochum, Yussuf Poulsen was there again with a goal off the bench, his 90th competitive goal in total for RBL (47 of them in the Bundesliga).
Dani Olmo hit the post in stoppage time in the first half (45th+1), our eighth time hitting the post this season.

Benjamin Sesko set up Xavi to make it 1-0 with a beautiful pass, his second assist of the season and his sixth direct involvement in a goal in the 2024 Bundesliga.
The two goals from Lois Openda once again perfectly set up by Xavi (to make it 2-1) and David Raum (to make it 3-1). Our two top creators now have a combined total of 20 assists (Xavi – eleven, David Raum – nine) in the Bundesliga.
Our other full-back Benjamin Henrichs also shone as a provider and perfectly served up an assist to Yussuf Poulsen to make it 5-1. Assist number four for Henrichs this year.

We celebrate our 15th win this season and move up to 4th place in the Bundesliga – at least for the time being.
After three games and almost four years without a win in Köln, we celebrated another three points in the cathedral city since June 1st, 2020.
It was our third win in a row, the second in a row on the road.
