Man City vs RB Leipzig match review

Match review

In the domestic arena of the Premier League, Man City is still persistently following Arsenal on the rankings to successfully defend the championship. That is completely reasonable when the "blue half" of Manchester is only 5 points behind the "Gunners". In the Champions League , the Etihad team advanced to the round of 16 with 4 wins, 3 draws and no losses. They are considered candidates in the race for the gold cup.

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, are struggling in the Bundesliga, sitting third in the table, seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich. In the Champions League, Marco Rose's side have won four, drawn one and lost two to book their place in the knockout stages against Man City.

Looking back two weeks ago, in the first leg, Riyad Mahrez scored in the 27th minute to give The Citizens the upper hand, but Gvardiol shone to equalise for the home team at Red Bull Arena with 20 minutes left. Indeed, RB Leipzig had a resilient 90 minutes to hold Man “City”.

However, the trip to the foggy land of the German football representative will be heavy with pressure and certainly encounter many storms. With a 1-1 draw in the first leg, coach Marco Rose and his team will only have a ticket to the next round if they win the second leg.

In reality, this is an impossible task for RB Leipzig. It is worth remembering that coach Pep Guardiola's students have a deep squad and are in good form. The Etihad team has won all 4 matches since the first leg against RB Leipzig. If counting at home, Man City is the team that has been unbeaten in the last 9 matches, winning 8 and drawing only 1.

The match between Man City vs RB Leipzig in the second leg of the 1/8 round of the 2022-2023 Champions League takes place at 3:00 a.m. on March 15 (Vietnam time).
