Germany World Cup winner aims Celtic dig as RB Leipzig Champions League defeat slammed

German icon Andreas Moller has slammed RB Leipzig for blowing their Champions League hopes after crashing to defeat at Celtic Park.

The second-best team in the Bundesliga suffered a fourth successive Euro defeat on the spin after going down 3-1 to the Hoops, leaving them pointless and in need of a miracle to salvage their dreams of reaching the play-offs. The German outfit had hoped to resurrect their campaign by earning a priceless victory in Glasgow but were steamrolled by Brendan Rodgers' rampant side.

And World Cup winner Moller - who also lifted the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund - lamented the fact they failed to step up in their "easier" game against Celtic.

He said: "It is rather embarrassing for the second-placed club in the Bundesliga to be where they are after four games. The chances of progressing are now minimal for Leipzig. There is a huge gap between their own expectations and reality RB Leipzig are now under more pressure than ever. To reach the play-offs, they will probably need three wins in the remaining four games.

"To be fair to them, they got a hard draw because they had to play top opponents like Atletico Madrid, Juventus, and Liverpool and still have to play Inter Milan, Aston Villa and Sporting Lisbon. However, Leipzig cannot complain if they do not even win the supposedly easier games...like against Celtic."
