Loïs Openda is now also showing off in the Champions League, but it is Jérémy Doku who comes out on top

Two young Belgian attackers excelled in the Champions League match between RB Leipzig and Manchester City. First Loïs Openda showed off his calling card with a goal after he had also scored in the top match against Bayern Munich last weekend in the Bundesliga. Yet another Red Devil played a starring role: substitute Jérémy Doku first provided an assist to Julian Alvarez for the 1-2 and then topped it all off with the 1-3.

Openda was completely under pressure with his team RB Leipzig against Manchester City when he bounced well off Yussuf Poulsen and the Dane immediately stabbed him deep. The 23-year-old Belgian attacker cleverly fought off defender Manuel Akanji before putting the ball into the goal via the far post, making it 1-1.

Earlier, Manchester City had made it 0-1 through a goal from Phil Foden. For Openda it was already his fifth goal of the season.

However, that would ultimately yield nothing for Leipzig: City substitute Jérémy Doku found Julian Alverez on the edge of the sixteen in the final phase, who turned the ball into the far corner for the 1-2. Deep into injury time, the Red Devil topped it off by putting the 1-3 past Leipzig goalkeeper Blaswich on the counter.
