Second game and as good as out …
RB Leipzig loses the home game against Bruges 1: 2. After the bankruptcy against Manchester City (3: 6), the second game in the Champions League is also lost.
Despite the lightning tour! The runner-up quickly won the ball, then Forsberg played a brilliant pass to the currently strongest Leipzig: Christopher Nkunku! The Frenchman simply shakes off his opponent – and scores! 1-0 after seven minutes! Already the fourth Champions League goal of the 23-year-old – Nkunku scored all of the Bundesliga club’s goals in the premier class. The striker has already scored three times against England champions Manchester City – and twice against Hertha last weekend.
Since 23 million man André Silva (25) is not even missing. The Portuguese is sitting on the bench for the second time in a row.
But the joy doesn’t last long …
► 23. Minute: Bruges does it like Leipzig and disturbs early. And then the ball is gone and at De Ketelaere – he fits in the middle on the free Vanaken – 1: 1! It was too easy. Because RB’s building game doesn’t fit at all.
Leipzig conceded at least one goal in the ninth Champions League game in a row – the king’s zero is not!
And it continues with a non-royal-class defense. A ricochet in the penalty area lands at Rits – and he simply hits the ball in (41). Game rotated! Second game, second bust. It takes a lot of imagination to advance in the group of deaths. As the last German team with two defeats in the beginning, Werder Bremen made it through in the 2005/06 season.
RB goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi to DAZN: “The first half wasn’t good. It’s very disappointing. We should have been more active in building up the game. We had too many bad passes. The second half was better. We have to defend the goals we conceded better. “
Kevin Kampl: “After the tour we are playing very hectically. Totally unnecessary. As a result, we left too much room for the opponent. It was not enough overall. “
Coach Jesse Marsch: “We lost a lot of balls and didn’t play well. It was so hectic. Things went better in the second half. We either play very well or very badly. We need a little more consistency. “
