Leipzig - It was the historic August 18, 2020 when
RB Leipzig
actually got the chance to reach the final at the Champions League tournament in Lisbon *.
But the opponent at the time,
Paris Saint-Germain
, clearly beat the Saxons 3-0.
Just 78 days after the duel,
Julian Nagelsmann's team got
a new opportunity to beat the French leader.

But at RB, in contrast to the
previous season, things are
not going particularly well, first they lost
5-0
in the second Champions League group game against
Manchester United
, then followed a 0-1 defeat in the Bundesliga * top game against the near-Real -Bezwinger Borussia Mönchengladbach *.
Nagelsmann's team is under
pressure
against Paris, of all
places
.
At
PSG they
seem to have recovered after two defeats in September and are leading the Ligue 1 table by
two points
.
The last premier class game they won 2-0 against Basaksehir, while the Leipzig went down at Old Trafford.

However, some hope is germinating with the Leipzigers, because the
star ensemble of
the French is missing the two most important offensive
players Neymar and Kylian Mbappé
.
The Brazilian complains of adductor problems, the French clipper is plagued by a thigh injury.
On top of that, PSG coach Thomas Tuchel Julian Draxler, Marco Verratti, Mauro Icardi and Juan Bernat are missing.
Also on the Leipzig side, Lukas Klostermann, Marcel Halstenberg and Konrad Laimer are missing some
top performers
.

In addition to the revenge, the advancement in the group is a great incentive for the RB kickers,
Julian Nagelsmann
assured that they "learned certain lessons from the semi-finals".
Should his team still have ambitions in the
Champions League
, it would have to be "a must win" at the home game on Wednesday or the away game in Paris.
However
, it is questionable
whether Nagelsmann's
former coach
Tuchel will allow this.
