Esteve hoping for Champions League debut – and Haaland reunion

A reunion with Manchester City brings bad memories for the RB Leipzig defender Maxime Esteve. He scored two own goals at the Etihad Stadium last year. Not that he has advertised this to his new teammates. "Maybe they don't even know," he jokes.

It is an amusing statistic that this time last year, indeed until the final days of November, a dozen games into the Premier League season, Esteve had found the net for City more times than everyone bar Erling Haaland. "This is a secret. You don't have to say!"
