They didn't count on winning the group, since Real were the strong favourites, but Leipzig were expected to qualify easily. They did encounter some problems, but nevertheless got a ticket to the playoffs.
In the Bundesliga, Marco Rose's team had a slow start to the season. They had little success in Autumn and allowed competitors to take the lead.

In theory, Leipzig still have a chance to win the title - they are only four points behind current leader Bayern Munich.
