Latest News about Antonio Nusa
Nusa said he plans to send Norway captain Erling Haaland a pre-match message ahead of RB Leipzig's Champions League meeting with Manchester City at the Red Bull Arena. The 21-year-old has become Leipzig's main attacking figure since Yan Diomande's sale to Real Madrid for €125 million.
Nusa scored a penalty in RB Leipzig's 2-0 away win at Schalke on Matchday 8 of the Bundesliga, with Rômulo adding the second goal. He became the first player to reach ten combined Bundesliga goals and assists this season, with four goals and six assists so far.
Nusa's run with Norway at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he had scored against Côte d'Ivoire, ended in heartbreak in July 2026. The result was a major disappointment for a squad that had reached its first World Cup quarter-final.
