RB Leipzig will permanently be Bayern's main rival - RB Leipzig’s Bold Plan to Dethrone Bayern Munich in Bundesliga and Europe
The club currently sits second in the Bundesliga table. Their immediate target is securing that position behind Bayern Munich. But Leipzig’s ambitions stretch further—they want to become a permanent title contender in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League.
In Europe, the focus is on consistent progress. The team aims to move beyond the group stage in the UEFA Champions League. Reaching the round of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals is now a clear objective.
Domestically, Leipzig is chasing more silverware. They have already won the DFB-Pokal twice and are now targeting a third and fourth victory in the competition.
Ole Werner, the coach for the 2025/26 season, is central to these plans. His task is to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level in both the Bundesliga and Europe.
Leipzig’s strategy combines domestic consistency with European ambition. Securing second place in the league and advancing in the UEFA Champions League would mark significant progress. The club’s push for further DFB-Pokal wins underlines their determination to challenge Bayern Munich’s supremacy in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League.
