RB Leipzig suffered a defeat before the semi-final second leg in the Europa League and has to worry about qualifying for the Champions League next season.
The runners-up lost 3-1 (2-1) to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga on Monday evening.
In front of 35,324 spectators in Borussia Park, Breel Embolo (17.
Mönchengladbach - minute) and national player Jonas Hofmann (45.+2/77.) scored the goals for the hosts, who were outnumbered after a red card for Nico Elvedi (64th) due to an emergency brake.
Christopher Nkunku's goal (36th) was not enough for Leipzig, who fell back to fifth place due to the defeat and thus slipped out of the Champions League places.
