Xavi Simons marked his return to action for RB Leipzig with a spectacular performance, scoring two goals in a thrilling 4-2 victory over Werder Bremen. The match highlighted Simons’ talent and determination as he returned to form after an 81-day absence due to a ligament injury.
Speaking after the game, Simons reflected on his time away from the field. "Being sidelined gave me an opportunity to reflect and focus on ways to improve my game. This match was a chance to show how I’ve grown during that period," he said. His performance not only proved his fitness but also showcased a sharper, more dynamic approach to his play.
RB Leipzig’s head coach, Marco Rose, expressed his admiration for the young midfielder. "Xavi is a phenomenal player with a strong mentality. His recovery process and dedication to training have been exemplary, and his impact today underscores his importance to the team," Rose commented.
Simons’ return was also celebrated with his iconic goal gesture—a playful phone call mimic aimed at his brother, Faustino. Teaming up with Lois Openda for this celebration delighted fans and symbolized his joyous comeback.
Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp, known for his keen eye on emerging talents, is reportedly impressed by Simons’ performance.
