Leipzig were third before attempting victory against City

Date:

RB Leipzig beat Borussia Mönchegladbach 3-0 on Saturday, consolidating their Champions League position by temporarily moving up to third place in the Bundesliga.

Leipzig took a point from Union Berlin, who tomorrow can only achieve third place if they win their visit to Wolfsburg.

Leipzig’s goals were scored by Timo Werner (57′), Emile Forsberg, from a penalty (71′), and Josko Gvardiol (80′). Now Marco Rose’s side can only think about Tuesday’s visit to Manchester City with the aim of surprising them after a 1-1 draw at home in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

Seventh-placed Mainz did not take advantage of Eintracht’s draw and drew 1-1 against Hertha Berlin. With this, the distance that separates Mainz from Eintracht, and with it from the European places, continues to be four points.
