"The Bundesliga has found a new object of hatred, the RB Leipzig," commented weekly newspaper Die Zeit. RB Leipzig is seen as the embodiment of the commercialism that the average German fans loathes. Red Bull owns 49 percent of RB Leipzig, but the remaining 51 percent is owned by employees of the Austrian drinks firm. Such rule-bending means RB Leipzig has been dealing with hostility from within German football since they started life seven years ago. However, the Bayern boss was emphatic when asked when RB Leipzig would win their first Bundesliga title.
