After its defeat this week against Real Madrid in the Champions League (0-1), Leipzig had to bounce back in the Bundesliga. This is what Marco Rose’s men did against Borussia Monchengladbach (2-0). A success which was first marked by an achievement by the essential Xavi Simons (14th). Served by Yussuf Poulsen, the former PSG player magnificently concluded the Saxon action before Lois Openda scored the break goal before the hour mark, thus scoring his 16th goal in the league and closing in on Serhou Guirassy (18 goals), leader in the scorers’ ranking.

Thanks to its two former Ligue 1 players, Leipzig follows the lead in the Bundesliga, behind Dortmund by one point. However, they lost Lukas Klostermann to injury, an indisputable starter this season in Leipzig. For Borussia Monchengladbach, the bad season continues. In the last 9 matches, the Fohlen have only won once. They are far in the standings with a 14th place and must also look behind, they are only 6 points ahead of the first relegated Cologne.
