Discredit. The legendary club at the bottom. Degradation is getting closer

It was the second minute of added time in the first half. A moment ago, Timo Werner scored the fourth goal for the RB Leipzig team and the guests were leading 4-0 against Schalke 04. Earlier goals were scored by Andre Silva (7th, 44th) and Benjamin Henrichs (15th). The fans of the hosts were furious, loud whistles could be heard in the stands.

“Lack of Bundesliga skills”

In the second half, the hosts scored a goal in the 56th minute (Soichiro Kozuki).
