UEFA Champions League All competitions Internazionale have faced 13 different German sides in European competition to date, however this will be their first ever meeting with RB Leipzig. Internazionale have only won three of their last 11 matches against German opposition in the UEFA Champions League (D1 L7), suffering defeat and failing to score in each of the last two – both versus Bayern Munich in the 2022-23 group stage (0-2 home and away). This will be RB Leipzig’s first away match against an Italian side in the UEFA Champions League. They have won their two away games against Italian opposition across all European competitions, however, beating Napoli 3-1 in February 2018 and Atalanta 2-0 in April 2022 – both in the UEFA Europa League. Internazionale are unbeaten in their last 11 home games in the UEFA Champions League (W9 D2), while keeping nine clean sheets in this run. This is their second-longest unbeaten home run in the European Cup/Champions League, after a streak of 28 matches between 1963 and 2002. RB Leipzig have lost all four of their matches in the UEFA Champions League this season – if they lose here, they’ll equal their longest ever losing run in the competition (five games between February and October 2021 – two under Julian Nagelsmann and three under Jesse Marsch). Internazionale haven’t conceded a goal in the UEFA Champions League this season. If they keep a clean sheet here, they would be the first side to not concede a single goal in their first five matches of a single campaign since Manchester United in 2010-11 (Atalanta could also achieve this on MD5). RB Leipzig have dropped nine points from winning positions in the UEFA Champions League this season, losing three matches in which they had scored the first goal (v Atlético Madrid, Juventus and Celtic). No team has ever lost four matches after opening the scoring in a single season in the competition. Internazionale midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has a 100% accuracy on forward passes made while under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season (21/21); the highest percentage of any player to attempt more than 10 such passes. Internazionale’s Yann Sommer has saved all 14 shots on target he’s faced in the UEFA Champions League this season. Based on the quality of shots on target faced using x G, he’s one of only three goalkeepers to have prevented 3+ goals this term (+3. 3 – 0 conceded from 3. 3 x G), along with Paulo Gazzaniga (3. 7) and Lucas Chevalier (3. 4). Among players to have played 180+ minutes in the UEFA Champions League this season, RB Leipzig’s Christoph Baumgartner ranks first in the competition for high-intensity pressures per 90 (90). Indeed, Marco Rose’s side also have the highest team average this term (394. 3 per game). © 2024 BBC. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.
