Xavi Simons' first Champions League goal was an absolute golazo, he's a very special talent

Believe it or not, Xavi Simons' first Champions League goal for RB Leipzig in their Group G clash against Red Star Belgrade was a screamer. Surprised? No, us neither.

And on Wednesday night, after David Raum handed the home side an early lead, the Barcelona youth product scored arguably the goal of the evening to give Marco Rose's side a two-goal cushion.

Leipzig would go on to pick up their second Champions League win of the 2023/24 campaign but it was Simons' effort that grabbed the headlines.

The youngster has plenty of admirers, including Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel, who recently praised the Netherlands international as he continues to be linked with a big-money move.

“I had him [at PSG] as a very young youth player and it was clear that he had a lot of potential,” Tuchel said. “[Simons] made it to the national team through the Dutch league.

“He is having a very good phase. He has a clear position, which is helping him. He is technically strong, calm on the ball, and good in front of goal. We have to make sure we stop him”

Simons was, of course, thrust into the limelight at an early age. He graduated through the La Masia academy and was tipped as Barcelona's next big star after impressing in their youth teams.

Back in July, he left PSV Eindhoven to complete a move back to PSG.
