Playing for Real Madrid is the dream of many young players, and this dream becomes a reality for only a few. One of them is Benjamin Šeško, who recently admitted this and will tonight aim for the goals of the club he once aspires to play for. However, since the path to signing with Leipzig was anything but easy, this will be another reward for the Slovenian youngster, reflecting the results of sacrifices, hard work, and determination. But the evening that is coming can bring more than just fulfilling childhood dreams.
The club from the Spanish capital has been chasing the signature of Kylian Mbappe for quite some time, but so far, with little success, even though the deal has been reportedly close several times. In case the agreement between the best scorer of the last World Cup and the management of the white ballet falls through again, Florentino Perez will likely turn to one of the alternatives. And the Slovenian representative will have the opportunity tonight and in early March to make it onto the list of Spaniards, if he hasn’t already.
Benjamin Šeško one of the main stars at Euro 2024?
While awaiting the big spectacle, there is another confirmation for the 20-year-old, who has made it onto The Guardian’s list of ten young stars who are expected to seriously attract attention at the upcoming European Championship. Among the young players on this list, you can find Xavi Simons, who also plays for the Red Bulls in eastern Germany, the young and promising Lamine Yamal, who is not even legal age yet, and Jude Bellingham, who is currently considered one of the best players in the world, but will likely miss today’s match at the sold-out Red Bull Arena due to injury.
The British media wrote about Šeško: “The biggest Slovenian stars in this century were goalkeepers: Samir Handanović and Jan Oblak. An average football fan would find it hard to name a forward coming from this country since the times of Zlatko Zahović, who is now 53. But things will change with Šeško, who has the potential to develop into a world-class forward. An extremely strong and powerful guy who knows how to position himself in the penalty area and has a killer instinct for scoring goals. In short, Šeško is the Eastern European counterpart of Erling Haaland. Norway did not qualify for Euro 2024, but the Slovenian will be there, as he contributed important five goals in the qualifiers, and his form at RB Leipzig shows that he feels at home in Germany.”

Let’s add another statistical achievement of our football gem, as he needs less than four attempts to score a goal this season and, considering the playing time he receives, he averages scoring in at least every third game he plays. It’s also worth mentioning that Benjamin Šeško will likely start in the starting eleven for today’s match, and interestingly, the last time he played a European game on home turf from the first minute, he also scored…
