Match of the Week: Teenage sensation takes Bundesliga by storm!

Here at IMOTGP we are shameless about pumping up young players and this week provides no exception with the much-anticipated matchup between Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, although Dortmund fans aren't too thrilled with it. 

As you all know, there's a teenage sensation ready to take the pitch in this huge Bundesliga game. He's been dubbed as one of the greatest youngsters ever to hail from his country, which is not known for producing too many vintage footballers in recent years. He's been linked to big-money clubs in world football, clubs that seem to be well within his destiny.

Just a few days ago, he made his first start for his national team in a World Cup qualifier in a four-goal demolition of a hapless island opponent with a performance that sent his country's fan base into raptures thanks to his penetrating runs. Best of all, this teenager doesn't hail from a continental Europe powerhouse country like Spain, Germany or France. Rather, he speaks English like you and me and you can watch him in this weekend's Dortmund-Leipzig showdown.

The world's top young talent!

It should be obvious by now that we are talking about none other than Oliver Burke, who will make his Bundesliga debut tomorrow in Leipzig. After all, who else would we be talking about? The Scottish midfielder has been compared to Gareth Bale and he's the most expensive footballer in Scotland's history. He's only the eighth Scotsman to play in the Bundesliga and this is his IMOTGP debut.

On Sunday, Burke earned his third cap in his first start as Scotland thrashed Malta 5-1 in a World Cup qualifier. It's the latest success on the pitch for a player who went through Nottingham Forest's academy and has been linked to Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

Burke will wear the No. 19 jersey to match his age although he is mature well beyond those years and should settle in nicely at RB Leipzig. There's even more pressure on him to develop into a star for Scotland, who haven't reached a major tournament since the 1998 World Cup with many believing 2018 in Russia could the year to end that drought.

In all reality, it's Oliver Burke's world and the rest of us are just fortunate to be living in it. With that in mind, the IMOTGP salutes Burke as the best young talent the Bundesliga has to offer!
