RB Leipzig Keeper Peter Gulacsi Warns Teammates: Celtic Park Will Be a Challenge

RB Leipzig’s Hungarian goalkeeper, Peter Gulacsi, has sounded a warning to his teammates ahead of their Champions League clash against Celtic at Parkhead. Gulacsi, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury at Celtic Park two years ago, knows what to expect from the intense atmosphere.

“Celtic Park is a difficult place to survive for away teams,” Gulacsi cautioned. “We’re aware of the challenge, but our goal is to secure three points in Glasgow.”

RB Leipzig’s Struggles

The German side has endured a nightmare start to their Champions League campaign, suffering three defeats and sitting joint bottom of the table. Their latest loss to Liverpool has piled pressure on the team.

“We didn’t get off to a good start,” Gulacsi admitted. “We had three difficult opponents, but we could have taken a few points.”

Injury Concerns

RB Leipzig’s task has been complicated by injuries to key players:

1. Xavi Simons (ankle injury)
2. Xaver Schlager
3. David Raum
4. Nicolas Seiwald

Gulacsi’s skipper, Will Orban, acknowledged the team’s struggles.

“We’re lacking consistency in both penalty areas,” Orban said. “In attack, we lack penetration and self-confidence.”

Despite the setbacks, Orban remains optimistic.

“We still have five games left,” he said. “We can still achieve our goals – getting into the play-offs is our target.”
