For the Saxons, who are plagued by injury concerns, it is the fifth defeat from their last six competitive games with a draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
RB with zero points in the Champions League
Fifth game, fifth defeat: RB Leipzig comes away empty-handed at Inter Milan and is on the verge of elimination in the premier class. An own goal sealed the deserved 0-1 defeat.November 27, 2024 | 2:58 minutes
The Leipzig team, who lost 1-0 at Inter Milan during the week, were clearly showing their uncertainty. Defensively, the assignment was not correct at all.
Leipzig quickly trailed 3-0
Wolfsburg combined seemingly effortlessly and exploited the gaps in the final third. First Amoura scored from close range, then Leipzig’s Kevin Kampl unstoppably deflected Tiago Tomas’ shot.
Rose became active on the sidelines, the 48-year-old clapped after winning duels and encouraged his team. When Amoura raised again a little later and duped Gulacsi, whistles echoed through the arena. Rose acknowledged the setback with a serious expression.
Leipzig vulnerable to counterattacks
After the false start, Leipzig showed courage and fought to keep up. Lois Openda (19th) and Benjamin Sesko (25th) had good opportunities. However, VfL remained in control of the game and was the more dangerous team. Wolfsburg took advantage of Leipzig’s vulnerability to counterattacks. Gulacsi struggled to prevent the fourth goal against Ridle Baku (36′) and Amoura (38′).

:DAZN shows conference, Sky shows more individual games
The Bundesliga conference and Sunday games will be shown on DAZN in the future. Sky shows, among other things, the individual games on Friday and Saturday.
Leipzig came out of the locker room swinging after the break. Despite the offensive urge, RB did not get any dangerous shots; the Saxons were also too harmless when it came to set pieces. Defensively, Leipzig remained vulnerable. Amoura (64th) missed a great chance, and Maehle was there with a header at the following corner.
The fans quickly left the arena, while Marco Rose comforted his dejected players. But the coach is now coming under increasing pressure.
For me the question doesn’t arise. I don’t think there is a coach discussion.
RB goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi
“It’s difficult. Everything went against us,” said RB goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi on “Sky”: “We make too many mistakes. That just kills us. After 0:3 it’s difficult. Then it’s impossible to win the game.”
