RB Leipzig - Basaksehir in the live ticker: Bulls need every point in hammer group
First report from October 20:
Munich -
RB Leipzig *
should actually
no longer be considered an outsider in the
Champions League *
.
Last season, the Saxons at least reached the semi-finals in the final tournament.
There they failed against the eventual finalists and renewed opponents in the group stage
Paris Saint-Germain
.
The English giant
Manchester United
is waiting
in
Group H for this
.
Reaching the
round
of
16
does not necessarily have to be expected - even if sports director
Markus Krösche was
fierce after the draw: “Our goal is still the round of 16.
We showed what we are capable of last season. "
The minimum goal must be third place.
Julian Nagelsmann's team
is already under pressure
on the first day of the match,
as it is against the
Turkish champions
Basaksehir
.
A team that you have to beat if you want to at least play in the
Europa League
after the group stage
.
RB Leipzig against Basaksehir in the live ticker: Form curves speak for grass ball
The shape curve of the Turks speaks for the favorite role of the "
red bulls *
".
In the first five games, coach
Okan Buruk's team scored
only four points and is currently only 20th in the table.
Nagelsmann doesn't want to let that slow him down: “You haven't made a good start in the league, but at the right time you gained self-confidence with your first win.
They have a lot of experience in the team
with players like
Demba Ba
, whom I still know from Hoffenheim.
Such players in particular want to use the international stage with high motivation. "
