RB Leipzig are determined to avoid the next crisis in their last home appearance in the current Champions League, which has no sporting significance. "We have nothing to give away in this phase," said coach Marco Rose. After two games without a win in the Bundesliga, the Saxons will host Sporting Lisbon in the top flight on Wednesday (18:45/DAZN).
"For us, it's about getting results. That's how we'll be judged, regardless of whether we're already out," said Rose. After six of eight games, Leipzig have yet to pick up a single point and can no longer qualify for the knockout phase.
Sporting, on the other hand, can advance to the next round early in Leipzig. "I still don't see a clear favorite," said Rose. He sees one team with zero points and one with ten. "And we want to change that."
