Tight pair Sabitzer, Werner lift Leipzig to new heights

BERLIN -- Marcel Sabitzer and Timo Werner might have felt reminded of their secret trips together when leading their team to its most significant continental success.

The 25-year-old Austrian scored two goals to secure the East-German's first last eight participation in the Champions League, his closest friend Timo Werner delivering an assist, with Emil Forsberg scoring the third goal on Tuesday evening.

Beating Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 (4-0 on aggregate), RB's top-scorer Werner turned in a powerful performance along side Sabitzer.

RB Leipzig's match-winners regularly sneak away in their free time, heading to a specific kebab house in the city center to enjoy what is actually banned by the club's nutrition rules. The duo regularly takes liberties by following their desire for fast-food.

Their coach Julian Nagelsmann doesn't seem to mind as long as things work out on the pitch. And, who could deny team is one of the surprises of the 2019-2020 Champions League campaign?

The Champions League rookies finished top of their group with 11 points and are now crashing the party of the usual suspects of European football.

While this season's campaign of the Bundesliga have featured several setbacks in RB's race for the 2020 German title, Sabitzer and Werner are two significant factors of the team's upswing.

Joining the side five and four years ago respectively, both have developed into top international level players.
