German hero Andreas Moller has heavily criticised RB Leipzig for losing an “easier” game against Celtic in the Champions League – and reckons they have no chance of qualifying now.
Celtic stunned the Bundesliga’s second place team this week with a brilliant 3-1 win at Parkhead to claim their second home win in a row. But Leipzig have been slaughtered in their homeland after collecting zero points from their four games so far.
And leading the charge was former Juventus star Moller – who won the World Cup and European Championships with Germany as well as the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund. He said: “It is rather embarrassing for the second placed club in the Bundesliga to be where they are after four games.
“The chances of progressing are now minimal for Leipzig. There is a huge gap between their own expectations and reality RB Leipzig are now under more pressure than ever. To reach the play-offs, they will probably need three wins in the remaining four games.
“To be fair to them, they got a hard draw because they had to play top opponents like Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and Liverpool and still have to play Inter Milan, Aston Villa and Sporting Lisbon. However, Leipzig cannot complain if they do not even win the supposedly easier games…like against Celtic.”
