RB Leipzig had an important victory over PSG in the third round of this year’s C1 Cup.
Despite being the home team, Leipzig soon had to concede a goal from PSG in a situation where midfielder Upamecano did not really have a sharp defensive situation.
It must also be said that PSG marched to Germany in the absence of both the most important names, Neymar and Mbappe, as well as striker Icardi.

After taking the lead, PSG played much more proactively and was also the team that completely controlled the match.
Entering the second half, the game turned around with a series of developments in favor of host Leipzig.

Winning this match, RB Leipzig moved to equal points with top team Man Utd.
