Chelsea-bound Werner reveals reason for Champions League snub: I had to hurt one side
Oct 19, 2021
Timo Werner said that he had to "injure one side" after leaving RB Leipzig's UEFA Champions League campaign to join the new Chelsea club.
Werner will establish contact with Premier League giant Chelsea on Wednesday after he reported a transfer of 53 million euros (47.5 million pounds) from Leipzig, Germany.
The German international striker played the last game for Leipzig on Saturday-a brace in the Bundesliga 2-1 defeat of Augsburg, becoming the number one scorer in club history.
Werner explained his decision to abandon Leipzig’s Champions League hit by the Coronavirus in 2019-20. The men of Julian Nagelsmann have entered after easing Tottenham The quarterfinals before the COVID-19 crisis.
"I can't help [RB Leipzig] in the UEFA Champions League, which makes me very painful. But I have been a player at Chelsea Football Club since July 1, and I have been paid by Chelsea since then." Sports buzzer.
"Obviously, all parties-Chelsea, RB and my side-should and must solve this problem. Of course, I try my best to avoid appearing in the Champions League issue because obviously I have to hurt one side.
"That's why my agent finally agreed to the club."
Werner scored four goals in eight games to help Leipzig advance to the last eight Champions League in the Champions League. The final of the UEFA Champions League will be set in Lisbon for a knockout match.
The 24-year-old finished the Bundesliga with 28 goals in 34 games this season#aclotzone
Werner said: "I will always stay in touch with Leipzig and RB and sit in front of the quarter-finals at the TV, keeping my fingers crossed-maybe I can even compete in Lisbon."
