- Leipzig’s resurgence under Marco Rose has seen them win ten of their last 11 games in all competitions.
- The victories include wins over Manchester City and Real Madrid in the Champions League. Leipzig will visit Madrid in the return leg of the last-16 tie on March 14 seeking to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the second consecutive season.
- Leipzig sit fourth in the Bundesliga and are bidding to secure a top-four finish and a place in next season’s Champions League.
- They will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal on April 19 and remain in contention to win the competition for the first time since 1976.

- RB Leipzig
- Manchester City
- Bayern Munich
- Real Madrid
- Barcelona
- Napoli

The CIES Football Observatory’s form table is calculated using a points-per-game system that takes into account the following factors:
- Results in all competitions
- Quality of opposition
- Home and away record
- Number of goals scored and conceded
Leipzig’s recent form has been particularly impressive considering the injuries they have had to contend with.
- Christopher Nkunku, their top scorer this season, has been out since November with a knee injury.
- Dani Olmo, another key player, has also been out injured for much of the season.
Despite these setbacks, Leipzig have continued to perform at a high level under Rose.
- The German coach has instilled a high-pressing, attacking style of play that has been effective in both domestic and European competition.
Leipzig are now one of the most exciting teams to watch in Europe.
- They have a young and talented squad that is capable of beating anyone on their day.
- If they can continue their current form, they will be a major threat in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
