Ouédraogo Opens Leipzig Win Days After Scoring on Germany Debut

The 19-year-old says he will stay grounded, focusing on club form.

Overview

  • Assan Ouédraogo struck in the 64th minute to break the deadlock in RB Leipzig’s 2-0 home win over Werder Bremen.
  • The midfielder had scored on his senior Germany debut earlier in the week in a 6-0 victory over Slovakia.
  • He described it as a “super week” with two matches and two wins, noting his long-range goal came from a perfectly hit shot from about 18 meters.
  • Ouédraogo downplayed talk of a 2026 World Cup call-up, saying he will just play his game and see what the end of the season brings.
  • Teammates hailed his form, with Christoph Baumgartner saying he is on cloud nine and Castello Lukeba playfully filming and praising him in the mixed zone.
