RB new boy Reitz shines against former club Gladbach

It was a transfer that had already been met with little understanding. At least among Borussia fans. Rocco Reitz left Mönchengladbach for Leipzig. At least the Foals received a sizeable transfer fee.

That paid off, at least in part, straight away in the Bulls’ first league match. Reitz found the net immediately in an impressive home debut.

The 24-year-old finished successfully for 2-0 after an assist from returning RB man Christopher Nkunku, but very deliberately chose not to celebrate against his former club. There can be no talk of rubbing it in, even if goals against former teammates always leave a bit of an aftertaste. Leipzig, meanwhile, are pleased with a successful transfer.
