Update from November 4th, 7.10 p.m.:

PSG coach

Thomas Tuchel's contract

expires next summer.

Because of a potential extension, according to Tuchel, “you don't have to dream if you are under constant fire.” The ex-BVB coach feels that he has been treated unfairly in France: “For a while, I had this naive vision that the coach after four Titles and a Champions League final wouldn't be in the line of fire for a while - it took five days. "

“Obviously we can't please everyone.

So we focus on working with the team and creating the conditions for success.

This works thanks to a good relationship with the team and the employees, ”added Tuchel defiantly.

You have to "know how to put on blinders."

Update from November 4th, 6.30 p.m.: RB Leipzig

recently conceded two defeats in a row with the 0: 5 in Manchester and the 0: 1 in Mönchengladbach.

That happened to the Saxons under coach

wants to

finally beat a big opponent in the Champions League

tonight against

Paris St. Germain

Manchester United

and

PSG

are even bigger opponents and are a different house number in Europe.

In the semifinals it was 3-0 against PSG and a week ago against United a 5-0.

The Saxons now have to prove that they can take on the heavyweights in their group.

RB Leipzig - PSG in the live ticker: coach duel between Nagelsmann and Tuchel

Update from November 4, 5.45 p.m.:

The game between

RB Leipzig

and

Paris St. Germain

is also the duel between the two German coaches

Julian Nagelsmann

and

Thomas Tuchel

.

The two trainers have known each other since 2007, when Nagelsmann worked as a scout under Coach Tuchel.

"It's not a coaching duel, it's about the two teams," said Nagelsmann.

The 33-year-old has lost all four duels against his former "teacher".

With Hoffenheim there were three defeats against Dortmund and in August with Leipzig the bitter end in the

semi-finals of the Champions League

against PSG.

Will Nagelsmann

win

his

first win

against Tuchel

today

?

Update from November 4, 1:01 p.m.:

Of course,

Paris St. Germain is

a real heavyweight - but

RB Leipzig

is

already latently under pressure

after the high opening defeat against

Manchester United

.

The learning effect from the lost semifinals is that “we definitely don't have to hide,” says coach

Julian

Nagelsmann

.

The 33-year-old sees both games against Paris as "knockout duels".

At least four points should be achieved in the two games.

“Printing is a privilege, it's about something.

Otherwise it would be boring, ”says the coach aggressively.

seem to have recovered after two defeats in September and are leading the Ligue 1 table by

two points

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.
