RB Leipzig is under pressure in the Champions League. After four defeats in a row, a win against Inter Milan is needed to maintain their playoff chance. This is how you can watch Inter vs Leipzig live on TV and stream.
RB Leipzig is experiencing a season to forget in the new league phase of the Champions League. Four games, four defeats – the third place in the Bundesliga has its back against the wall. With only twelve possible points left and a five-point gap to 24th place, which secures participation in the playoffs, there is little room for error. Particularly bitter: Leipzig suffered three of the four defeats despite being in the lead for a while.
The fact that Marco Rose's team still has a chance is thanks to the new Champions League format. But the next hurdle could hardly be higher: On Tuesday evening (from 9 p.m. in the LIVETICKER) RB expects an away game against the Italian champions Inter Milan.

In addition to the sporting crisis, the Leipzig team is plagued by serious injury concerns. Top performers like Xavi Simons, David Raum and Xaver Schlager are missing, as are Yussuf Poulsen and El Chadaille Bitshiabu. On Monday, Lukas Klostermann also joined the list of failures – a precautionary measure, as the club announced.
The statistics give the people of Leipzig little hope. Inter Milan have not lost their last eleven Champions League home games and have not conceded a goal in nine games. Nevertheless, Inter's coach Simone Inzaghi was respectful: “The table does not reflect what Leipzig has earned so far.” Marco Rose's team is still the “second best team in defense” in Germany.
But on the last Bundesliga matchday, Leipzig conceded four goals from TSG Hoffenheim. “Now it’s up to us to bring calm back into our game. We have the chance to do better again in Milan,” said Leipzig coach Rose.
However, Inter are in top form. The Nerrazzuri won 5-0 at Hellas Verona at the weekend. In order to take something away from Milan, Rose's players will have to put in a lot of effort.
