The loss marked their third defeat in the last four games, with their recent struggles spanning both Bundesliga and Champions League matches.

The game started with promise for Leipzig, who took an early lead. However, they missed crucial chances to extend their advantage to 2-0, failing to capitalise on promising opportunities.

This left the door open for Celtic, who responded with three successive goals, taking control of the game and leaving Leipzig to chase.

Adding to the sting, former RB Leipzig player Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn played a pivotal role for Celtic, scoring twice against his old club.

This Champions League defeat compounds Leipzig's recent domestic woes, as they suffered their first Bundesliga loss over the weekend, a 1-0 setback to Borussia Dortmund.

This match, against what many observers described as a sub-par Dortmund side, ended Leipzig's unbeaten league start and further dented their confidence.

Now, with zero points in the Champions League and a rough patch in the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig face a pressing challenge to regain form and get their season back on track.

The next fixtures will be critical for manager Marco Rose, who needs to rally his team to avoid further disappointment in both league and European competitions.

"As a team, we are currently not able to get back to our level," said Rose.

"It is about pulling ourselves together so that we can do it again."

Leipzig will host Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
