The small dent in RB Leipzig's final spurt was something they would have liked to have avoided, but the Saxons' summary of the season was still positive. This 1:4 (1:2) defeat at SC Freiburg at the end of the season really hurt, said Christoph Baumgartner. It felt like they had "given the game away a bit". But overall, they had also "done a lot, a lot right over the year".
Even before the final matchday of the Bundesliga, it was clear that RB would return to the Champions League in third place after a year away. The big goal for this season was therefore achieved. It was also "a bit too comfortable a life", joked goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi about the time without international competition.
The icing on the cake, the possible club internal points record in the league, was missed by the Saxons due to the defeat in Freiburg. Because they lacked consistency, as coach Ole Werner criticized. Especially from SC's resting balls. Nevertheless, the anticipation of the comeback in the premier class prevailed.
