RB Leipzig boss in post Rangers swipe at HOME fans for muted Europa League first leg atmosphere

RB Leipzig boss Domenico Tedesco admits he was left disappointed by the the backing from the home support during their clash with Rangers.

The Germans drew first blood in the semi-final showdown after Angelino’s late strike found a way through the stubborn defensive efforts of the Ibrox side.

It puts the Bundesliga team just 90 minutes away from the Europa League final, but the response from the Leipzig support failed to impress the boss.

The boss was asked about the atmosphere in the stands during the game and if he enjoyed the crowd.

But speaking to radio station RTL, he bluntly responded: "The mood (in the stands) was today, well, there are better moods. I'll tell you that honestly."

He also admitted the win over Gio van Bronckhorst 's men wouldn't go amongst his all-time career highlights.

The former Schalke and Spartak Moscow, who steered both sides to the Champions League group stage, bluntly responded: "I don't think so.

"I've had some great moments. At Schalke, here too, in Moscow a lot of extremely cool moments."
