From the source

Christoph Baumgartner believes RB Leipzig will need around 10 points to keep their Champions League knockout hopes alive following Wednesday's defeat to Manchester City. The Red Bulls fought back twice on the night, with Ridle Baku and Antonio Nusa both finding the net, before Erling Haaland found a late winner for the under scrutiny Citizens.

Speaking after the game, midfielder Baumgartner acknowledged that the European campaign has fallen short of expectations so far, with just three points on the board from four outings, but insisted there is still plenty to play for.

“I think we know that we're going to need around ten points. So we have to deliver, but I definitely believe we can do it,” the Austrian told DAZN after the match.
