Leipzig thrash Elversberg 4-0 as Baumgartner marks return with a goal
RB Leipzig ended a two-match losing run with a 4-0 victory over SC Elversberg. Martin Demichelis praised his side’s response and the impact of his changes, while Christoph Baumgartner celebrated scoring on his return from a long-term injury.
Nusa fires Leipzig past Elversberg as Bremen thrill and El Mala escapes red
Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Stuttgart 3-2 to open Bundesliga Matchday 7 without setting a record for the worst start. Antonio Nusa's five assists in seven games make him Leipzig's key man after two assists in a 4-0 win over Elversberg; Werder Bremen climbed to sixth with a 3-2 win at Mainz powered by Niclas Füllkrug's double; and Köln's Said El Mala avoided any punishment for a push on Schalke's Soufian El-Faouzi that injured Robin Gosens in a 0-0 draw.
Leipzig bury Elversberg with four-goal second-half surge
RB Leipzig scored four times after the break to beat Elversberg 4-0 at the Red Bull Arena. Antonio Nusa created the first two goals, while Rômulo struck twice and Christoph Baumgartner marked his return from injury with a late header.
Baumgartner calls injury return against Real Madrid 'toughest period of my life'
Leipzig midfielder Christoph Baumgartner says his first game back from a long injury lay-off, a 4-1 defeat at Real Madrid, showed clear progress after the 6-1 loss to Bayern Munich, and admits missing the World Cup hurt deeply.
Real Madrid 4-1 RB Leipzig: Mbappe and Guler shine as Diomande stunner seals perfect European start
Real Madrid made it three wins from three in the 2026-27 Champions League with a commanding 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig at the Santiago Bernabeu, featuring goals from Bernardo Silva, Arda Guler, Kylian Mbappe and substitute Yan Diomande. Mbappe scored and assisted in the same Champions League match for the first time in his Madrid career, while 19-year-old Diomande became the youngest Madrid substitute to score and assist in a Champions League game.
Demichelis targets Leipzig win on ‘special’ return to Bayern
RB Leipzig coach Martín Demichelis says returning to the Allianz Arena will be special after 12 years at Bayern Munich, but insists his side will travel to win rather than defend for 90 minutes. Leipzig remain without Marc Guiu and Assan Ouédraogo, while Christoph Baumgartner is being eased back into training.
