In the 33rd round of the 2024/25 Bundesliga, Leipzig drew 0-0 with Bremen away after failing to score in both the first and second half. Jolt Loew said that his team made too many mistakes in decision-making and passing, and he also hoped that the team could get a top 5 position.
After achieving 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 5 rounds, Leipzig is currently ranked 7th in the standings with 51 points. It is certain that they will not qualify for the Champions League, so they can only try their best to fight for a top 5 position.
Leipzig interim coach Jolt Loew said in an interview, "The team is in a difficult situation and some players are not in good shape. We had many opportunities to tear through Bremen's defense with more accurate passes, but our decision-making at critical moments was too poor and there were too many pass errors."
"The players are under great pressure to secure a top four finish, but now it is impossible for us to do that. This season has been full of ups and downs, and now our only goal is to fight for fifth place."
Leipzig midfielder Baumgartner said: "No one will be satisfied with this draw. It is not very helpful for us or Bremen. We know that if we want to keep our hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, we must get all 6 points in the last two rounds. But we have already confirmed that we will not be able to participate in the Champions League next season, so we will naturally be very disappointed."
"We need some time to accept the fact, and then we must reunite and do our best for next week's game. This is what we owe to the fans. Although the initiative to play in the European arena is no longer in our hands, we still want to seize the last chance. It will be a difficult feeling if we watch other teams participate in European competitions every week in the future."
In addition, Leipzig will host Stuttgart at home in the last round of the Bundesliga this season, and this is also Leipzig's last chance to qualify for Europe.
Peter Gulacsi said, "Although we created some opportunities in the last 30 minutes, our overall performance was still not good enough and was far from the level required for the game. If we are honest with ourselves, we will find that we are lucky to get this point because Bremen also had several excellent scoring opportunities. In this game, to some extent, it is a microcosm of our unstable performance throughout the season."
"We have qualified for the Champions League seven out of the last eight Bundesliga seasons, which shows the club's high stability. Apart from Bayern Munich and Dortmund, no other team can do this, but this season is obviously not as good as expected. Everyone is disappointed, but we will go all out in the last round against Stuttgart to try to at least stand on the European stage."
