Leipzig recovered quickly after the defeats with Manchester United (score 0-5) and Monchengladbach (score 0-1), winning a very important match with Paris Saint-Germain, in the Champions League. Julian Nagelsmann’s students won 2-1, helped by the two eliminations from the French camp. Leipzig have not conceded points at home this season in the Bundesliga, but have fallen to third place. If Bayern and Dortmund have 15 points in the standings, the “bulls” remain at 13th place.
