Update from March 10, 5:20 p.m.:
Exactly one year after the last game in a sold-out stadium, RB Leipzig wants to move into the quarter-finals of the Champions League again.
On March 10, 2020, the team of coach Julian Nagelsmann defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-0, on March 10, 2021 the team had to make up a 0-2 draw against Liverpool in the second leg that was moved to Budapest.
This time without any fans.
“This is a situation that I don't quite understand either.
If you look at the incidences of Liverpool, Leipzig and Budapest there is one place where there is no way to gamble.
And Liverpool and Leipzig are not, ”said Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp.
According to media reports, the seven-day incidence in the Hungarian capital is many times higher than in the other two cities.

Is there anything going on for RB Leipzig in the direction of the quarter-finals?
Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC are in free fall in the Premier League - that can actually not pass them by in the Champions League either.
The starting position after the Reds' 2-0 win in the first leg sounds comfortable at first.
In the first leg they benefited from the individual mistakes of the Leipzig.
RB coach Julian Nagelsmann has high hopes for returnee Emil Forsberg, who will probably return to the starting line-up.
"Emil has exceptional qualities and a wealth of experience, which makes the team stronger," he said.
Yussuf Poulsen and Christopher Nkunku could swirl with him in front.

First report from March 9th:
Budapest - RB Leipzig is under pressure in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Liverpool FC.
The Red Bulls have to make up a 2-0 win against the Reds in the first leg.
Jürgen Klopp's team is deeply in crisis - the chance for the Saxons?
Leipzig and Liverpool will meet for the second leg of the second leg of the premier class - curiously like three weeks ago in the Puskas-Arena in Budapest.

Nevertheless, Julian Nagelsmann hardly cared that the Reds in the Premier League threatened to gamble away qualifying for the Champions League with six home bankruptcies.
“We don't really give a shit whether Everton, Fulham or whoever won.
That has no influence on the game, ”said the Leipzig coach.
“We're not addressing that because we lost the first leg,” said Nagelsmann: “That's why we're currently the loser of the duel.
It's about being the winner in the end. ”The people of Leipzig are still dancing at three weddings, are in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup and are only two points behind leaders FC Bayern in the Bundesliga.
Only last Sunday Liverpool and world coach Klopp lost 0-1 at home on Anfield Road against relegation candidate FC Fulham.
Klopp then looked dejected and tried to focus on the last chance for the title in the premier class.
“Thank goodness we're now playing in a different competition,” the team manager said after the Fulham game and warned against Leipzig: “They won't give up just because they are 2-0 down.
It's going to be difficult. ”Nevertheless, Klopp is doomed to advance if he somehow wants to save the season.
Liverpool FC versus RB Leipzig in the live ticker: Nagelsmann has pity
In all English cup competitions Liverpool are out, in the league the Reds are seven points behind the Champions League ranks.
Nagelsmann even felt a little sorry for the premier class winner of 2019. “It's normal that I can empathize a little,” he said: “It's a tough time.
Especially if you were rightly used to success. "Liverpool is still a" world-class team with a world-class coach ", which, according to Nagelsmann, will tackle the change:" The players are too good for that and the coach even more. "
To prevent the upward trend from starting against Leipzig, Nagelsmann demanded maximum concentration from his team. After all, two individual mistakes by captain Marcel Sabitzer and defender Nordi Mukiele had favored both Liverpool goals in the first leg. “They just can't pass us on the same level. Especially not with the burden of 0: 2 ”, demanded Nagelsmann. Overall, it takes “a mixture of the necessary aggressiveness, humility and cleverness”, as Nagelsmann said, to snatch the quarter-final ticket from Klopp after all.
