Elvergate with a good score: Who shoots RB Leipzig?

Famous penalty kickers: Uli Hoeness and Antonin Panenka. A single penalty in the night sky of Belgrade is still suspected even today. The other flew past Sepp Maier’s goal in slow motion, making Czechoslovakia European champions in 1976.

It will not be that difficult, from eleven meters. Silva, so far without any noticeable movement, catches the ball and wants to shoot. This time, Forsberg does not leave the number without comment, speaking to Silva, apparently referring to the Portuguese who has been the best dog at RB right-back from the eleven meters for more than seven years.

So I prefer to take it slow.” The 30-year-old did not want to In speaking of the discussions of Silva, Szoboszlai, Poulsen, Elvergate, and E Point. However, we must assume that Forsberg will play at Hertha (Sunday, 7.30pm), and if worse is worse, get a point. From now on, the clicking order will be strictly adhered to.
