RB Leipzig Faces Sporting Lisbon in Final Champions League Home Match

Despite elimination from the tournament, Leipzig aims to restore confidence and end its winless streak in European competition.

RB Leipzig has lost all six of its Champions League matches this season and is already eliminated from advancing to the knockout stages.
The team will host Sporting Lisbon on January 22, 2025, at 6:45 PM in the Red Bull Arena, with Sporting needing a win to secure progression to the next phase.
Leipzig's coach Marco Rose emphasized the importance of achieving results to regain confidence following recent poor performances in the Bundesliga.
A goalkeeper change is planned, with Maarten Vandevoordt replacing Peter Gulacsi as part of a long-term transition strategy.
Key players Xaver Schlager and Ridle Baku are unavailable for the match, while defender Castello Lukeba is back in training but unlikely to play.
