Back after three months of absence, Xavi Simons carries RB Leipzig with a double against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga

Away from the field since October 23, 2024, Xavi Simons was finally back in business. Against Werder Bremen this Sunday, the Dutchman stood out with a double which delighted the supporters at the Red Bull Arena (4-2). The player on loan from PSG first took advantage of a relay from Lois Openda to calmly adjust Michael Zetterer (24th) before immediately seeing his shot at the entrance to the area being slightly deflected and lobbing the unfortunate goalkeeper of the Werder (35th). In the meantime, Mitchell Weiser had equalized, put into orbit by a superb deflection from Marco Grüll (26th).
