We present to your attention the announcement of the return match of the 1/4 finals of the Europa League between Marseille and Leipzig.
After defeating Zenit in the previous round, Leipzig managed to beat the championship in Bavaria, and gave a false hope to the fans that the problem of "bulls" with matches in the middle of the week was solved. This illusion was destroyed on Monday, when the "Red Bull" was declassed (4: 1) at home by Bayer.
This defeat should significantly add to the motivation for Marseille, because the French looked better on the field for most of the first match, but Leipzig managed to win the match 1-0 and record the first "dry" game in European competition. Note that throughout the season, Leipzig has proved that he confidently alternates a disastrous match with a convincing victory, which means that Leverkusen's defeat does not equate Marcel to the obvious favorites in the second match.

Marcel also had a disappointing result on Sunday in the domestic championship. Boring "zeros" from Montpellier mean that Marcel was behind Lyon in the race for the third (last) line of the Champions League in League 1. The lack of top scorer Toven ahead of reduces the attacking potential of the team, Marcel lacks creative thought in the attack to "disassemble" the best teams. The French will hope for their fiery home support on Velodrome, but Leipzig showed Krestovsky that the atmosphere in the stands does not in any way affect the game of "bulls". Thus, despite the failure of Leipzig on Monday and the fact that the Germans have less rest for one day, their final pass to the semi-final looks more likely.
