At 1:30 a.m. Beijing time on March 3, the 21/22 DFB 1/4 finals, Nkunku scored twice in the first half, A-seat pass in the second half, Lemmer scored 1 goal, RB Leipzig beat Hannover 96 4-0 away, easily advanced to the final four.
RB Leipzig were runners-up in last season's Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, and they came into focus due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Just two days ago, UEFA officially announced that it would disqualify Sparta Moscow from the Europa League, and RB Leipzig would win without a fight and automatically advance to the quarter-finals.
However, because RB Leipzig did not issue a statement condemning Russia, it was insulted by fans, which made CEO Minzruff very aggrieved. In tears at the press conference, he said football had been morally kidnapped and that things should not be the case.
After automatic promotion, RB Leipzig continued to erupt, eliminating Bundesliga side Hannover 96 4-0 in one game, becoming the second team to advance to the final four of the German Cup after Union Berlin. It was also the second consecutive year that RB Leipzig had reached the final four of the German Cup, falling to the final last season. But now that Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are out, RB Leipzig is naturally the biggest hit.
Back in the game, RB Leipzig can be said to have the advantage, unilaterally hanging the opponent. The post-match data showed that RB Leipzig had 65% possession, only 35% of the opponents, 13-5 shots on goal, and an exaggerated number of shots on target 9-1! Although it was an away game, RB Leipzig did not save face for the home team at all, and easily advanced to the final four with a tragic case.
After entering 2022, RB Leipzig's performance is crazy, with 9 wins in 11 matches in all competitions, with a winning percentage of 82%. After the 2-3 defeat to Bayern, RB Leipzig played another wave of 5 wins and 1 draw, scoring a total of 19 goals, averaging more than 3 goals per game, which was even stronger than Bayern in the same period.
In this way, RB Leipzig, worth 450 million, achieved a three-tier surge, which fully proved the coaching ability of the new coach Tedesko. Now, RB Leipzig is back in the top four of the Bundesliga and is expected to qualify for next season's Champions League, with the German Cup advancing to the final four and the Europa League automatically advancing to the top eight, all with the hope of winning the title.
According to foreign media forecasts, the probability of RB Leipzig advancing to the final four of the Europa League is as high as 62%, while the probability of winning the championship is 20%, which is second only to La Liga giants Barca, which is the second favorite to win the title.
