Maxime Esteve, the RB Leipzig defender, is looking forward to a reunion with Manchester City, the club he faced last season. He scored two own goals at the Etihad Stadium last year, a memory that is not something he has mentioned to his new teammates. Esteve joked that they may not even know about it. He is also hoping to make his Champions League debut with Leipzig.

Why it mattersEsteve faces Manchester City again, with Leipzig fourth in the Bundesliga, three points behind leaders Bayern München, and he ranks in the top 2% of league defenders for pass accuracy.
