JAKARTA - Manchester City's match against RB Leipzig on the fifth matchday of Group G of the 2023/2024 Champions League at the Etihad Stadium, Wednesday, November 29, 2023, early morning WIB became a formality party.
Both teams have been confirmed to qualify for the round of 16 considering that the other contestants are very inferior.
The third and fourth place residents, namely Crvena Zvezda and Young Boys, only collected one point from four matches.
Far from the acquisition of The Citizen and Leipzig which pack 12 points and nine points.
Although the meeting between City and Leipzig did not affect anything, there is still one ambition left behind.
The visitors, Leipzig, had the motivation to take revenge for them in the first meeting of the group stage. At that time, they lost 1-3 at home, Arena Red Bull.
In addition, Marco Rose's team wanted to improve the record of the meeting against Manchester City.

Despite the first meeting in Group G this year, they have met four times. All in the Champions League.
Leipzig only packed one win. City's two wins and the other ended in a draw.
However, the clash with City was painful considering Die Bullen, Leipzig's nickname, conceded 18 goals. Meanwhile, Leipzig only managed to break into seven times.
Leipzig's biggest defeat to City came in last season's Champions League. At that time, they were massacred 0-7.
Their first encounter was no less injured for Die Bullen. The German club conceded six goals. Even so, Leipzig is still trying to fight back by scoring three goals.
The spotlight of the match will lead to Leipzig even as a guest. Victory is a way of getting revenge plus fixing bad score over City.
However, the additional three points later seem to still find it difficult to displace The Citizens from the top of the standings because they are adrift of the goal difference far enough.
Manchester City has a difference of nine goals, while Leipzig only has three goals.
