Hahah, RBL, what a mistake.

I actually love seeing teams who play out from the back unnecessarily like that get caught out. Sure do it sometimes but not every time.

I think it’s because it used to put my heart into my mouth watching us used to do it even when it was obvious it was never a good thing to do we ploughed on regardless.

Leipzig looks a bit shell shocked. Sloppy, nervous, misplacing easy passes, lacks the aggression they have played with in previous matches etc.

PSG is playing great but I must admit I'm a bit disappointed with Leipzig so far.

This is the best PSG side I’ve seen. They actually look like a proper team rather than a group of great players just playing on the hoof.

The young and ambitious coaching way I guess. Nagelsmann for you. Sometimes works, but when the other team presses more, hiccups occur. When we were so full of energy in our presses during the 2015/16 season, we went all edgy as well when teams tried to press us more. And when that got found out, we ran out of ideas. The same is happening to RBL now.

Yeah they have taken a leap forward. They beat RM 3-0 in the group stage as an example. Anyway, they didn't look particulary good against Atalanta. Which is why I'm questioning whether Leipzig have turned up or not.

I don’t think they have. Apparently nagelsmann switched their tactics. Whenever teams do that when only previously playing a certain way every game, it never usually turns out well.

Serves that mukiele right. Was diving, feigning injury and cheating in both games against us. He’s an utter prick.

Now that Leipzig are almost out, what are the chances of Sabitzer starting for us in our first game of the season? :cautious:

So maybe just me but why wasn't the last goal offside... Wasn't the ball crossed forward?

Laimer really seems to be one of those players that a manager must love for his work rate but he is proper crap on the ball.

Leipzig looked really tired today. Not sure if they just gave it all vs Atleti but there was a clear difference in fitness.

I think PSG will win it now. As good as Munich are I’ve just a feeling they won’t win should they get past Lyon.
