Champions League: The controversial rise of RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig will face off against Paris Saint-Germain in their European Champions League semi-final on Tuesday. It's quite the achievement for the a club which was only founded 11 years ago, but the club certainly isn't always popular.
German football clubs have historically been controlled by their fans, who generally hold a majority stake. However, RB Leipzig are owned and controlled by the drinks maker Red Bull.
Guido Sch盲fer, a former player who now writes for Leipziger Volkszeitung, describes how the team is seen in Germany.
