More than just executors: That’s why Werner is so valuable

The entry into the quarter finals of the Champions League after the victory over Tottenham Hotspur is the biggest success in the history of RB Leipzig. National player Timo Werner shows against the Premier League club why half of England wants him, even if others score the goals.

Strikers are measured by goals and teams by their successes. Timo Werner masters the art of scoring this year like no other German football player. With 27 goals in 35 games he is shooting his team RB Leipzig from success to success. The 3-0 victory in the second leg of the second round of the Champions League against last year’s finalist Tottenham Hotspur added another game for the German international – and he proved that the above rule is just an empty phrase.
