In the moment of the bitter elimination from the Champions League, RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose showed humanity. When he saw that linesman Alessandro Giallatini had tears in his eyes, he wanted to know what was going on. "He said that he had played his last game," Rose said of the 49-year-old: "That's why he was so emotional."
Leipzig's coach took the Italian in his arms after the 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa and comforted him. He also brought him a jersey, reported Rose, who no longer has a chance of progressing with the Saxon Bundesliga club after their sixth defeat in six games in the new league phase of the European Champions League.
