Three teams have officially bowed out of this season’s UEFA Champions League, including RB Leipzig, following a tough 3-2 loss to Aston Villa. Despite their spirited performance, Leipzig’s hopes of advancing to the round of 16 have been dashed.
Leipzig’s challenges have persisted throughout the competition, as they’ve suffered six consecutive defeats, leaving them without a single point and languishing at 34th place. They are joined by Slovan Bratislava and Young Boys, who also remain point-less in the standings.
As the league phase continues, teams like Bologna, Salzburg, Crvena Zvezda, Girona, and Sturm Graz are teetering on the brink of elimination, adding to the tension of the competition.
In a more promising turn of events, Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, has made headlines by calling up 17-year-old goalkeeper Max Hudson for their upcoming Champions League clash against Juventus. Hudson, a rising star from the academy, steps in to replace Scott Carson, signaling Guardiola’s commitment to nurturing young talent.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news, sharing on his X account: “17-year-old GK Max Hudson called into the Manchester City senior squad for the Champions League game vs. Juventus. He’s replacing Scott Carson, as one more talent joining the first team from the Academy.”
