Red Bull Salzburg is a living cheating code in the Austrian Bundesliga. Led by American coach Jesse Marsch, the energy drink powerhouse club is on track to win its seventh straight league title and is doing it in style.
The Wisconsin native and his Red Bulls already lifted the Austrian Cup in true social-distanced fashion. Now his team is completely obliterating the other clubs in the Austrian Bundesliga with style. In Wednesday’s 7-2 demolition of Rapid Vienna, Salzburg pulled out all the stops, including a potential Puskás Award candidate.
Zlatko Junuzovic’s goal was of the highest quality. If this missile had been scored in the Premier League, it would be talked about for weeks. It was the midfielder’s third goal of the season, and it was a beauty.
Despite the bigger fish in European soccer buying Salzburg’s best players, the Austrian club is still producing goals of the highest quality. Who even needs Erling Haaland or Takumi Minamino when you have the legend of Zlatko on your team? He’s like a Walmart version of Zlatan.
Salzburg only has a few remaining games and will lift the league trophy for a seventh straight time barring a disaster. Marsch will add a second trophy to his name and become the first American coach to win a top-flight European league title.
