OPPOSING PLAYERS
RB Leipzig plays in a 4-4-2 formation, and in the position between the posts it has two experienced goalkeepers - Blasvis and Gulacci, so it is a question mark who will run at the Maracana. Lukas Klosterman, on the right side, and David Raum, the goal scorer in the previous clash, on the left-out line, play as standard defenders. Even the stopper tandem does not change often, so the irreplaceable French young stopper couple is represented by Mohamed Simakan and Castelo Lukeba. The midfield is entrusted to an experienced duo - Kevin Kampl, who has been a member of RB Leipzig for many years, as well as a standard member of the Austrian national team - Xaver Schlager. In the position of the right wing, there is another scorer from the last meeting - the super-talented Xavi Simmons, and the same position on the other side is occupied by the Swede Emil Forsberg. The center forward position is crowded with extremely high-quality attackers, of whom the player who arrived from Lens - Lois Openda - is the most trusted, while Jusuf Poulsen, Benjamin Šeško or Timo Werner often perform alongside him. The recovered Dani Olmo represents another great danger, and next to him there are also Fabio Carvalho, Christoph Baumgartner, Nicolas Seewald, Ilaik Moriba, Amadou Haidara...
