The 2017-18 campaign was a dramatic European adventure for RB Leipzig as Die Roten Bullen secured a respectable 6th-place finish in the Bundesliga, earning qualification for the Europa League. Leading the charge was their prolific young striker Timo Werner, whose 13 league goals proved vital in a campaign built on high-octane attack and grit. The season was defined by their debut in the UEFA Champions League, where they dropped into the Europa League knockout rounds and made a memorable run to the Quarter-finals before falling to Marseille. It was a pivotal year that cemented the young club's status on the European stage, featuring talents like Naby Keïta and Jean-Kévin Augustin, and remains a defining chapter in their rapid rise.
