When was the last time this happened, then?

Two Leeds players playing against each other on the international stage? Actually, it was probably the last time this fixture happened.

Matuesz Klich and Ezgjan Alioski, playing for Poland and North Macedonia respectively will kick off at 19:45 GMT tonight as part of their Euro 2020 Qualifying Campaigns.

Poland sit in the driving seat in Group G having won 16 points from the 7 games they have played in so far. A win tonight should just about see them through…

North Macedonia are in the ascendancy in the group, they’re currently third after securing back to back wins against Slovenia and Latvia and are the ones with “the most to play for” so to speak. They’re currently 2 points behind Austria who occupy the final qualification spot.

Klich and Alioski have played themselves into being two of Bielsa’s unlikely stars. After rocky starts to their time at Leeds United, their shared commitment to hard-work and doing the grit work have turned them into cult heroes of sorts.

Not to mention they’re both famed for their menacing style in winding up opponents both on and off the pitch.
