Rangnick: 'We can only blame ourselves'
After last night's 2-3 defeat to Red Bull Salzburg, RB Leipzig coach and sporting director Ralf Rangnick said his team deserved to lose.
RB Leipzig lost their first match in the Europa League's Group B as the team were beaten by their sister club Red Bull Salzburg last night.
After being down 0-2 at the break, RB Leipzig fought back and equalized, but ultimately lost the game 2-3 - and deservedly so, head coach and sporting director Ralf Rangnick said after the final whistle.
"We defended poorly, also at the third goal. At the end of the day, we can only blame ourselves. We couldn't win today, but only lose," Rangnick said according to Sport1 and added:
"The players didn't understand what was coming. We have to defend more compact again. It the end, we were unlucky to lose, but we deserved to."
Both of the other two German Europe League contestants took three points yeterday. Bayer Leverkusen defeated Ludogorets 3-2 while Eintracht Frankfurt won 2-1 against Olympique Marseille.
