RB Leipzig suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Como 1907 in their opening Champions League game on 10th September 2026.
Como begin on the front foot, pressing high and putting our boys under pressure from the outset. The first chances fell to Cesc Fàbregas' side.
Maarten Vandevoordt produced a fine save to deny Anastasios Douvikas in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper was beaten two minutes later. Martin Baturina was able to get a shot away from close range inside the penalty area and found the back of the net to put Como 1-0 ahead (15').
RBL almost responded immediately. Straight from the restart, Antonio Nusa found himself one-on-one with Como goalkeeper Jean Butez after getting on the end of a long ball, but his finish was too central and Butez made the save (16').
Leipzig then began to create more opportunities. Andrija Maksimović and Marc Guiu, who were both making their first starts for the club, went close in quick succession. Butez first made an excellent save to keep out Maksimović's curling effort, before Guiu sent a promising header wide just seconds later (36').

RB Leipzig have completed the signing of 20-year-old forward Marc Guiu from Chelsea.
The Spaniard has put pen to paper on a long-term contract running until 2031 with Die Roten Bullen.
"Joining RB Leipzig is exactly the right step for me. The club made a real effort to bring me here and, in our talks, gave me a clear idea of the role I can play in the team," said Marc Guiu.
"RB Leipzig have shown time and again that young players can develop here at the very highest level. RBL are also an ambitious club with high aspirations in every competition. I want to play my part in achieving those goals while continuing to improve every day."
RB Leipzig managing director for sport Marcel Schäfer believes Guiu has all the qualities to thrive at the Red Bull Arena.

RB Leipzig look set to strengthen their attacking ranks before the transfer window closes.
According to Sky Germany, Chelsea forward Marc Guiu arrived in Leipzig ahead of his medical on Sunday.
The German club will reportedly pay around €17 million, including bonuses, to sign the 20-year-old striker.
Guiu is expected come in as a replacement for Conrad Harder, who is being heavily linked with a move away from RB Leipzig.
The young striker joined Chelsea from Barcelona for a reported €6 million fee in 2024.

Xabi Alonso is at Stamford Bridge. Serie A giants Napoli are making a concerted push to sign Marc Guiu, tabling a €16 million bid for the Chelsea striker, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
Guiu has emerged as Napoli's top target to replace Romelu Lukaku, who recently joined Fenerbahce.
While Napoli are offering €16m, Chelsea reportedly value Guiu at closer to €29m. The Blues signed the striker from Barcelona's La Masia in 2024 for €6m, meaning even a deal near Napoli's bid would represent a significant profit.
The 20-year-old was initially loaned to Chelsea last summer, but was recalled early after Liam Delap's injury.
However, Guiu struggled for regular minutes and made just one league start throughout the campaign.

Things can get very funky in the last week of the transfer window as players and teams get desperate, but still, this is one story we can't quite believe we're seeing.
Graeme Bailey of TeamTalk, who isn't a top source but does at least have a small reputation he wouldn't want to damage, has just put out the story that Manchester City are interesting in signing… (wait for it)… Marc Guiu.
The young striker has been at Chelsea since 2024, but has been buried deep on the depth chart ever since. He hasn't played regularly since the Conference League days.

Chelsea have set an asking price of £65m for Nicolas Jackson with Aston Villa weighing up a formal approach.
Aston Villa are interested in a deal to sign Jackson, with Unai Emery open to a reunion with his former Villarreal player. The Villans have banked more than £190m from sales this summer and are contemplating an official bid for Jackson.
The Senegalese striker has returned to Chelsea from a season-long loan at Bayern Munich, where he scored 11 goals in 34 games for the German double-winners.
Bayerndecided against the £70m option to make the move permanent, though Chelsea retain confidence that the club can secure a significant sum for the forward.
According toThe Athletic, Chelsea value Jackson at £65m, a fee that would represent a club-record deal for Aston Villa. He's one of several strikers expected to leave West London this summer, with Emmanuel Emegha, Liam Delap and Marc Guiu all attracting suitors.

Chelsea are asking some pretty big prices for their players this summer, but this one really takes the biscuit.

The transfer window is absolutely peaking right now, with Chelsea having confirmed multiple signings to the fist team in the last week. There are a host of sales close to completion too.
That makes it the perfect time to check out the Athletic's Transfer Deal Sheet. There's tons in there as ever, but one detail caught our eye.
We've heard all summer that striker Marc Guiu is available for sale. That's no surprise – he's barely featured featured since signing from Barcelona two years ago. What is notable is that Simon Johnson has now put a price tag on him – he says Chelsea's asking price is £25m.

Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, rivalling Premier League counterparts Aston Villa, according to the Daily Mail. Xabi Alonso, Unai Emery and Roberto De Zerbi are at Stamford Bridge, Villa Park and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, respectively.
Stamford Bridge executives have placed a £65m price tag on the 25-year-old forward, who spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich.
Spurs have prioritised strengthening their attack in the closing weeks of the summer window, having already reinforced other areas. The North Londoners have now turned to Jackson despite their interest in Cody Gakpo, who is currently not for sale by Liverpool.
Spurs will face stiff competition from Aston Villa, where manager Unai Emery is leading efforts to reunite with Jackson. Emery previously coached the striker at Villarreal and values his direct running, pressing energy, and versatility as ideal qualities to strengthen Villa's forward rotation alongside Ollie Watkins. Villa have already held preliminary talks with Jackson's representatives following Morgan Rogers' departure.
From Chelsea's perspective, the Blues are open to sanctioning a deal if their £65m threshold is met. Jackson scored 11 goals in 34 matches across all competitions last season, but returns to Stamford Bridge facing intense competition for places following the arrivals of Danny Welbeck and Emegha, adding to a striker group that already includes Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, and Marc Guiu. With Chelsea aiming to streamline their squad and generate transfer capital, a permanent departure remains a strong possibility.
