The visitors from Saxony even take an early lead. However, Leipzig were unable to hold on to it. The hope of at least a point is dashed shortly before the end.

RB Leipzig have conceded defeat in their Champions League opener. Coach Marco Rose's team lost 2-1 (1-1) at Atlético Madrid. After taking an early lead through Benjamin Sesko in the fourth minute, the Bundesliga club appeared nervous. In the Estadio Metropolitano, France's former world champion Antoine Griezmann also equalized (28') for Madrid, who then made too little of their dominance for a long time. It was not until the 90th minute that José María Giménez's goal sealed Leipzig's defeat.
