MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - RB Leipzig are confident their Champions League crash landing following a 7-0 loss at Manchester City on Tuesday will turn from debacle to a trigger for domestic success with coach Marco Rose quickly shifting the team's focus to the Bundesliga.
Leipzig were without a chance as City forward Erling Haaland scored five goals en route to an 8-1 aggregate victory in their Champions League last 16 tie.
"It is now all about reacting appropriately. This heavy defeat can trigger things," he added."To learn the lessons and become motivated on the next task because the Champions League is over for us." Leipzig have also won just three of their last six league games to lose some ground in the title race. They next travel to struggling VfL Bochum on Saturday.
