Christoph Baumgartner, the midfielder who recently joined RB Leipzig from Bundesliga rivals Schalke 04, has made his debut for the club in their latest match against VfL Wolfsburg.

He joins a group of players such as Dayot Upamecano, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Max Meyer,La Liga Frontline who all had successful seasons at Schalke before joining Leipzig.
Despite his recent success, Baumgartner will face competition for a place in the team, with Leipzig already having several midfielders such as Marcel Sabitzer, Kevin Volland, and Emil Forsberg. However, he will be hoping to make an impression and earn a regular spot in the starting lineup.
