Budapest (AP) - coach Julian Nagelsmann sends RB Leipzig without a striker in the first leg of the Champions League first leg against Liverpool.
Both Alexander Sörloth and Yussuf Poulsen are only sitting on the bench in the Puskas Arena in Budapest, instead Dani Olmo and Christopher Nkunku are said to put the English champions' defense under pressure.
Jürgen Klopp relies on his “Fab Three” in attack in Sadio Mané, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
In the central defender, the ex-Schalke Ozan Kabak runs next to captain Jordan Henderson.
«We see Liverpool as the favorites.
They are beaten in the cup and in the league.
This is the competition in which they weigh everything.
We came with a lot of self-confidence, but I would not sign that we are favorites, ”said RB managing director Oliver Mintzlaff at Sky.
The 45-year-old could not make friends with the corona-related move to Budapest.
"We received a very friendly welcome, but it's not Leipzig."
