RB Leipzig Faces Mounting Pressure After Fifth Consecutive Loss Under Coach Marco Rose

The team struggles in the Champions League and domestic competitions as injuries and poor form test Rose's leadership and future at the club.

RB Leipzig suffered their fifth consecutive defeat, losing 1-0 to Inter Milan, leaving their Champions League hopes reliant on winning all remaining group matches.
Coach Marco Rose is under increasing scrutiny, but Red Bull executive Oliver Mintzlaff has maintained close communication and expressed a desire to navigate the crisis together.
Injuries have severely impacted Leipzig's squad depth, with key players like Xavi Simons, David Raum, and Assan Ouédraogo sidelined, leaving limited options for Rose during matches.
Team captain Willi Orban and other players have publicly backed Rose, emphasizing the need for the squad to take responsibility and improve performance.
Leipzig's upcoming fixtures, including a Champions League match against Aston Villa and a DFB-Pokal clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, are critical to salvaging their season and Rose's tenure.
