While it might not seem that way today, Bayern Munich does have rivals. Once upon a time, it was FC Köln, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Schalke 04. Now, it’s VfL Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen, and… RB Leipzig — the most notorious club in German football history.

Today’s Bundesliga Rundown will talk about RasenBallsport Leipzig and include:

• The story behind RB Leipzig’s short history and the motivations of their owner: billionaire
• Dietrich Mateschitz.
• Why they’re the most hated club in Germany… but also why some see them as admirable.
• How Ralf Rangnick became one of the most influential figures in Bundesliga history.
• Ole Werner and today’s Leipzig: are they really the second-best team in Germany?
