⚠️ Bundesliga confirms NEW Champions qualifier; Leverkusen in trouble | OneFootball

The Bundesliga confirmed a NEW team qualified for the Champions League. RB Leipzig beat St. Pauli this Saturday (9) and secured their spot.

Xaver Schlager and Willi Orbán scored in the 2-1 win; Abdoulie Ceesay pulled one back. Brazilian player Rômulo played the full 90 minutes.

RB Leipzig join Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund as Germany’s representatives in the competition.

That leaves, therefore, ONE spot in the UCL. And the race promises to be intense.

Bayer Leverkusen LOST, saw their direct rivals win, and now face a tougher battle for this final spot.

Leverkusen even took the lead through Aleix García after 33 SECONDS, but ended up losing 3-1 to Stuttgart away from home.

To make things worse for Bayer Leverkusen, Hoffenheim also won: 1-0 over Werder Bremen, with a goal from Bazoumana Touré.

If the Bundesliga ended today, Stuttgart (fourth with 61 points) would take the final Champions League spot.

Hoffenheim (61) and Bayer Leverkusen (58) would go to the Europa League.

And Freiburg (in seventh place with 44 points) would go to the Conference League.
