The next Leipziger is on the ground: Xaver Schlager collects a body check in the center and has to blow through briefly. The Austrian can continue after his breather.

The denied 1-0 shows very well how vulnerable the Scots are to fast attacks from Leipzig. Nkunku and Werner are therefore already lurking on the last line of defense for the next ball.

VAR decision: The goal by C. Nkunku (RB Leipzig) is disallowed, score: 0-0
The VAR steals the 1-0 from RB! Too bad: Nkunku scores a dream goal and is called off for offside. The Frenchman completes a great through ball from Simakan and coldly chips the ball over Joe Hart into the net. However, Nkunku is slightly offside when receiving the ball.

The Scots take more time for their attacks and now rely on possession. Sometimes Leipzig has problems with Celtic’s pressing.

Can Leipzig be unsettled by the Gulácsi injury? At the moment the game has to pick up speed again after the treatment break.

Janis Blaswich is now the name of the Red Bulls’ new goalkeeper. The new signing from Leipzig also celebrates its debut in the premier class.

Substitution at RB Leipzig: Péter Gulácsi

An unfortunate action in all respects. In fact, Gulácsi cannot continue playing and even has to be carried off the field on a stretcher. The Hungarian is also lucky that his unsuccessful rescue effort does not end with a goal.
11.
18:58
Gulácsi seriously injured! After a blatant bad pass from Werner, Gulácsi has to get out in his sixteen and twists his knee in a daring rescue operation. The Hungarian falls to the ground injured and probably can’t continue playing.

Leipzig grabs the ball again and immediately sets the pace. Christopher Nkunku rushes after a wide through ball and loses the running duel against Joe Hart in the opposing sixteen.

Kampl loses the ball in his own build-up and gives Jota a promising chance. The Portuguese – and namesake of Liverpool’s Diogo Jota – does not come to an end in the backcourt.

18:52
The initial phase makes you want more! Leipzig goes to the early 1-0, but also has to watch out for the brave Scots. Celtic are currently taking possession of the ball.
5.
18:51
Celtic also plays offensively right away! The Scots don’t give up the ball in the RB penalty area and hand the leather over to O’Riley. The Dane is then blocked when he graduates.
3.
18:49
The next goal! Just seconds later, Nkunku finds a gap in the right corner of the sixteen and nails the ball just outside the right post.

18:49
RB puts pressure on immediately! The people of Leipzig quickly put the ball through the middle and pull a hot combination over Werner. After an accidental back-heel pass from Nkunku, André Silva runs into Celtic keeper Hart with the ball at his feet.

Referee Espen Eskas (Norway) whistles and releases the ball. The Red Bulls clink glasses and are wearing their white jersey today. Celtic are guests in Saxony in a dark outfit.
18:42
And now it’s time for the Champions League anthem! The ball is about to roll in Leipzig.
18:38
Good playlist: Shortly before kick-off today, Leipzig’s stadium DJ released the classic “Freed From Desire”. Of course, the Celtic fans who traveled along rewrote the well-known refrain and really celebrated.
18:35
The RB fans still have very fresh and not good memories of the last duel with a team from Glasgow: Last season, Leipzig failed in the semi-finals of the Europa League at Glasgow Rangers and thus missed the hoped-for German final against the eventual winner Eintracht Frankfurt.
18:26
Best attacker at Celtic is Kyogo Furuhashi. The Japanese has already scored seven goals in the first eight games in the league and forms a three-man attack in the Scots today together with Jota and compatriot Daizen Maeda in a 4-3-3. Meanwhile, RBL coach Marco Rose has almost the same team from the Bundesliga win against Bochum and only brings David space for Marcel Halstenberg.
18:19
For Celtic FC, too, important big points for the round of 16 are at stake today. Scotland are also still without a win and clinched their first point of the group stage with a 1-1 draw against Donetsk last matchday. The Scots are similar to the Leipzigers in terms of their game idea and are also very offensive. RBL coach Marco Rose therefore warned his eleven when studying the video in particular against the Scots attack and also looked at Celtic’s Japanese trio around national players Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate. “The boys from Japan are lively and good at one-on-ones,” Rose commented.

With zero points after two games and 1: 6 goals, RB Leipzig is already under a lot of pressure on the 3rd day of the Champions League. After the unfortunate 2-0 defeat at Real Madrid on the previous day, only a win against Celtic counts for the Red Bulls: “We will give 100 percent for it,” promises midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai. RB coach Marco Rose is also aware of the pressure: “If we don’t score any points, it will be very difficult,” said the Red Bulls coach.
17:11
Good evening and welcome to the Champions League! In Group F, RB Leipzig meets Scottish champions Celtic Glasgow at 6:45 p.m. today. Will the Red Bulls get their first win on Matchday 3?
