RB Leipzig are the newest kids on the block and backed by energy drinks manufacturer Red Bull are now threatening to challenge for a first title of their own.

Union with more of the pressure, still, but its engaging and open - if a little stop-start for the last ten minutes. Khedira drives from outside the box, Laidouni was an inch away from a perfect ball to Michel as they broke. Still goalless. #FCUS04 | #fcunion | 0-0 | 40' pic.twitter.com/LY0bujPybJ
