This is a bitter pill for the Bundesliga club: RB Leipzig put in a really good first-half performance in the Champions League against Manchester City, who came into the game out of form after two Premier League defeats.
Playing at home, Leipzig had the better chances and did an exemplary job of keeping Erling Haaland out of the game. He had just three touches in the first half.
And yet RB are behind, having been their own worst enemies. After a really strong opening half-hour, Castello Lukeba scored a desperately unlucky own goal.
After Cherki switched play to O’Reilly, the latter whipped in a cross from the left, just short of the byline. Lukeba went to clear the ball inside the box but slipped at the worst possible moment. Instead of clearing the danger, he sent the ball into his own net (37').
Rather than getting their reward for a committed performance against the faltering Premier League giants, Leipzig spectacularly shot themselves in the foot.
What do you think – can the Bundesliga club come back in the second half?
