The analysis after the sixth defeat in the sixth match in the Champions League was unsparing and honest. "An unbelievable amount" was missing, said RB Leipzig managing director Marcel Schäfer: "The competition has been very disappointing for us in every respect so far." Advancing this season is out of the question, even two wins in the remaining games were no longer enough.
It was quiet in the dressing room, reported attacker Christoph Baumgartner after the 3-2 defeat at home to Aston Villa on Tuesday evening. When the players went to bed, Leipzig were 34th out of 36 in the new league phase of the European Champions League. The clubs from Slovan Bratislava and Young Boys Bern, who are still behind the Saxon Bundesliga club, can still move past them this Wednesday if they score against Atlético Madrid and VfB Stuttgart.
