RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann is ready for a fight to the finish with Manchester United in Tuesday’s Champions League group decider in Germany.
The Bundesliga side will advance to the knockout stage if they win, while United could drop into the Europa League depending on Paris Saint-Germain’s result against Istanbul Basaksehir.
Nagelsmann dismissed the importance of Leipzig’s 5-0 defeat at Old Trafford in October, and is more concerned about United’s ability to fight back after seeing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side come from behind to win all five away games in the Premier League this season.
Nagelsmann revealed that Lazar Samardzic has tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss the game along with Konrad Laimer, Lukas Klostermann, Benjamin Henrichs and Dayot Upamecano.
Antonio Mateu Lahoz will be in charge of Tuesday’s game and Nagelsmann has promised to be on his best behaviour after clashing with the Spanish referee when Leipzig lost to Lyon in the Champions League 14 months ago.
