MANCHESTER – RB Leipzig is one of the dark horse teams in the 2020-2021 Champions League. Although not a superior team, the prowess of the German League team still deserves to be watched.

Because last season, Leipzig was incredibly capable of appearing in the 2019-2020 Champions League semi-finals. To reach the quarterfinals, Nagelsmann’s team defeated such great teams as Tottenham Hotspur and Atlético de Madrid in the round of 16.

Leipzig’s move was eventually stopped by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the semi-finals. All these things show how great Leipzig have been in recent seasons.

However, Leipzig’s greatness somehow faded when they faced Manchester United. Because it was only early this morning, Thursday (10/29/2020), Leipzig was massacred by Man United at Old Trafford Stadium.

The atmosphere of the match Man United vs Leipzig

Specifically, Leipzig was humiliated 0-5 by Man United on the second day of Group H of the 2020-2021 Champions League. Of course, the crushing defeat Leipzig received made many parties in disbelief.

One of the parties who did not believe that Leipzig could be topped by Man United was Die Bullen’s own coach, Julian Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann felt that the outcome of the 0-5 loss was an outcome that had not previously been predicted.

Because Nagelsmann was initially quite confident that Leipzih’s current team could beat Man United. However, in fact, Leipzig was left defenseless at Old Trafford and Nagelsmann also knew what had caused it.

One of them, of course, is the Leipzig spirit which waned in the second half. According to Nagelsmann, when his team was 0-2 behind Man United, Leipzig relaxed the defense.

Leipzih’s players appeared to have ignored their defense so that the Man United players were free to play in the away area. If Leipzig can defend well, Nagelsmann believes his team should be 0-2 and not 0-5.

“Our game in the last third was not good enough. We are not clinical enough, we lose balls too often. We have much more in us, “said Nagelsmann, quoted on UEFA’s official website, on Thursday (10/29/2020).

“We started well after the break, but then the second goal came and we stopped defending. That is the only complaint I can present today. It would be better to maintain our defensive structure and lose 0-2,” he concluded.
