Marsch in the mire as Brugge stun Leipzig
American coach Jesse Marsch's rocky start at RB Leipzig continued on Tuesday as his side suffered a major blow to their Champions League campaign with a shock 2-1 defeat at home to Club Brugge.
Underdogs Brugge fought back from a goal down to spring a surprise in Saxony and leave Leipzig bottom of a tough Group A which also includes heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.
"We're in a difficult situation in the group now, but we have to stay positive. We have two games against Paris Saint-Germain, and we have to pick up points there," goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi told broadcaster DAZN.
Leipzig's second defeat in two European games heaps further pressure on Marsch, who has now lost five of nine games in all competitions since taking the reins at the beginning of the season.
"It's interesting: we are either playing really well or really badly at the moment," said Marsch, whose team had appeared to bounce back to form with a 6-0 win over Hertha Berlin last weekend.
"We need to find more consistency."
