RasenBallsport Leipzig, aka Leipzig, came into existence in 2009 and since then rose through the lower divisions in the German leagues to reach the Bundesliga in 2016.
They finished as runners-up in the 2016-17 season, thus qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history and in the 2019-20 season, they reached the semi-final of the tournament.
Over the years, the German giants have spent a significant amount of money on some great young talent. Timo Werner was a breakout star for them, as well as Naby Keita, Dani Olmo and many others.
