RB Leipzig comes into the first leg having given a good account of Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga in a match that dispatched with a 0-3 away win, despite which it is fifth in the standings.
The victory returned Leipzig to winning ways after two winless games, a draw against Cologne and a 2-1 loss to co-leaders Union Berlin.
Although Leipzig has been climbing positions for some time, after a bad start to the season, it is now out of the boxes of the Champions League that is the minimum goal of the club of energy drinks.
Manchester City have not been as fine as they could be in their away clashes this season and especially after the World Cup. Pep Guardiola’s side have only been able to win one of their last matches away from the Etihad Stadium and the Champions League crossing comes at a time of leisurely optimism in the ranks of the ‘Sky Blues’.
They beat Arsenal to become leaders of the Premier League, in what seemed the final morsel to a competition in which they have taken many tumbles, but the draw against Nottingham Forest on Saturday curbs the euphoria of a team that has not yet recovered the finesse of other seasons and that sees in the League of Champions the perfect competition for it.
Because he already knows Leipzig well, when they met in the group stage in the 2021-22 season. 6-3 for the cityzens at the Etihad and 2-1 defeat in Germany. With nothing at stake for the English, and because the ‘Champions’ is still the true desire of the club controlled by the United Arab Emirates.
After winning four Premier Leagues in five years and each domestic title possible relatively frequently. City only has its sights set on the ‘Champions. That competition in which the 2021 final remains the best result harvested.
RB Leipzig: Blaswich; Klostermann, Orban, Gvardiol, Raum; Laimer, Schlager; Szoboszlai, Forsberg, Werner; Silva.
Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Laporte, Dias; Rodri, Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Grealish, Haaland.
