Four games, four defeats: RB Leipzig's record in the Champions League is unsatisfactory. Now a top Italian club awaits the struggling Saxons in Inter Milan.

RB Leipzig are aiming for their first points in the Champions League. After four defeats so far, coach Marco Rose's team face Inter Milan this Tuesday (21:00/DAZN). However, the omens are not good. Leipzig lost 3:4 at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the league despite leading three times and are without a win in four competitive matches. The team will also be without international Lukas Klostermann, who was unable to make the trip to Italy due to muscular problems. RB must win to have any chance of reaching the round of 16.

"We're playing in the Champions League in Milan, if we're not emotional and not looking forward to it, then it would be our own fault. We need a top performance, we need to believe in ourselves," said Rose, adding: "I know the lads can do better and want to do better. I know they know we have to do better to get out of it."
