UEFA Champions League, League Stage 4RB LeipzigLEI 2 3 Full Time Manchester CityMCI Venue Leipzig Red Bull Arena Referee Marco GuidaRidle Baku 49Antonio Nusa 61 Castello Junior Lukeba 37 (OG)Enzo Fernndez 58Erling Haaland 78RB Leipzig went into their clash with Manchester City with reason to be particularly fearful of Erling Haaland, and their concerns ultimately proved vindicated as the Norwegian talisman continued his fine record against the Bundesliga side to settle an absorbing Champions League tie.Haaland had found the net 12 times across his previous meetings with Leipzig and, despite being a largely peripheral figure on Wednesday, it was his far-post finish from Elliot Andersons superb cross that gave City a 3-2 away win.Citys performance was not without its concerning elements, with Gianluigi Donnarummas goalkeeping for Ridle Bakus equaliser after Junior Lukebas opening own goal likely to put the Italian under the spotlight once again.But going forward, City were typically imperious in an enthralling clash, with Enzo Fernandezs brilliant header restoring their lead before Antonio Nusa fired beyond Donnrumma to level matters once more.Unsurprisingly, Haaland was Citys saviour, putting them in a strong position as they seek a top-eight finish in the league phase. Yet more control will be required going forward if City are to seriously threaten a challenge for a second European crown.More to follow RB Leipzig Manchester City 2 Goals 3 0.84 xG 2.32 36% Possession 64% 13 Total Shots 12 6 Shots on Target 5 4 Shots off Target 6 5 Corners 3 20 Fouls 7 3 Offsides 5 4 Yellow Cards 2 3 Saves 4 362 Passes 673 307 Passes Completed 609 85% Pass Accuracy 90% Home Away The UEFA Champions League Table UEFA Champions League 2026 World #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 4 1 Paris Saint Germain44002051512 W W W W 2 Barcelona430114689 W L W W 3 Aston Villa430112669 L W W W 4 Liverpool330012759 L W W 5 Real Madrid330010559 W W W 6 Sporting CP43018449 W L W W 7 Real Betis33007439 L W W 8 Bayern Mnchen422012578 W D D W 9 Arsenal32106247 W D W 10 VfB Stuttgart42117437 L D W W 11 Como320110556 W W L 12 Manchester City32019546 W W L 13 Club Brugge KV32019636 W W W 14 Inter42028626 W W L L 15 Lask Linz420210916 W W L L 16 Borussia Dortmund32015416 W W L 17 Manchester United42028806 W L L W 18 Galatasaray420289-16 W W L L 19 AS Roma411210824 L W L D 20 Shakhtar Donetsk41124404 L L W D 21 PSV Eindhoven31112204 L W L 22 Atletico Madrid411245-14 L D W L 23 Bodo/Glimt411249-54 D L W L 24 Napoli310257-23 L W L 25 Sabah FA310236-33 L L W 26 Lens310237-43 L L L 27 AEK Athens FC310238-53 L L L 28 RB Leipzig310238-53 L L W 29 Villarreal4103814-63 L L W L 30 Feyenoord4103411-73 L L W L 31 Fenerbahe302139-62 W D L 32 Slavia Praha301247-31 L D L 33 Viking301259-41 W L D 34 Lille4013410-61 D L L L 35 FC Porto300326-40 W L L 36 Slovan Bratislava4004117-160 L L L L Position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 : Promotion Champions League (Play Offs: 1/8-finals) Position 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 : Promotion Champions League (Play Offs: 1/16-finals) Upcoming fixtures for RB Leipzig and Manchester City Upcoming Fixtures : RB Leipzig UEFA Champions League RB Leipzig LEI 20:00 2026-11-24 Lens LEN UEFA Champions League Manchester United MUN 20:00 2026-12-08 RB Leipzig LEI UEFA Champions League RB Leipzig LEI 20:00 2027-01-20 Shakhtar Donetsk SHA UEFA Champions League Feyenoord FEY 20:00 2027-01-27 RB Leipzig LEI Upcoming Fixtures : Manchester City Premier League Nottingham Forest NOT 17:30 2026-11-07 Manchester City MCI Premier League Manchester City MCI 15:00 2026-11-21 Fulham FUL UEFA Champions League Manchester City MCI 20:00 2026-11-24 Napoli NAP Premier League Arsenal ARS 15:00 2026-11-28 Manchester City MCI Premier League Manchester City MCI 20:00 2026-12-02 Leeds LEE Topics Champions League Manchester City F.C.
