For a long time the DFB-Pokal looked made for Leipzig’s opponents. In 2015 they were heavily beaten by third-tier Unterhaching. In 2016, as a Bundesliga newcomer, they threw away a 2–0 lead against local rivals Dynamo Dresden and lost the penalty shootout 7–6 after extra time. A year later another shootout went wrong, this time against Bayern after a 1–1: Timo Werner failed with Leipzig’s final penalty. The club chronicle still had no won shootout in a central competitive match by the end of 2019.

SV Sandhausen, of all clubs, hammered Leipzig 4–0 in their own stadium in 2014/15, more heavily than anyone else managed up to the end of 2019. That 2014/15 campaign was at that time the worst in club history, with only fifth place and 50 points.

Draw against Trondheim: on the final matchday of the 2018/19 Europa League group stage, Salzburg did their brother club a favour by winning at Celtic, but Leipzig still went out. At home to already-eliminated Rosenborg Trondheim they could only manage a 1–1 and threw away qualification. Rangnick then made himself look silly by insisting he did not know what he could reproach the team for.

Although RB Leipzig has only existed since 2009, it has still managed a collection of notable negative records in the top two divisions. The lowest league finish in club history by December 2019 was sixth in the Bundesliga in 2017/18, when the previous season’s runners-up had to settle for Europa League qualification. The same season brought the most defeats, 11, the most goals conceded, 53, and the poorest goal difference, only plus four. It also ended with the first coaching change in the Bundesliga era, as Ralph Hasenhüttl left after the final game because no agreement on a contract extension could be reached. Another notable embarrassment was a 5–1 defeat at Holstein Kiel in the first Regionalliga season. In the Bundesliga, Leipzig never looked more helpless than on their first visit to the Allianz Arena in December 2016, where Bayern beat them 3–0 and reasserted the old hierarchy.
