"Mainz” will return to Europe after an 8-season break, while the 8-year streak of "RB Leipzig” in European competition will come to an end.

In the last round of the Bundesliga, "Leipzig” lost 2:3 at home to the German Cup finalists "Stuttgart.”

If Leipzig had won this match, they would have qualified for the Conference League. Instead, the European spot went to the "Mainz” team, which played to a 2:2 draw with Bayer Leverkusen.

In Xabi Alonso's final match in charge of "Bayer,” Patrick Schick scored a brace.

To avoid relegation from the Bundesliga, they will fight against the "Heidenheim” team, while "Bochum” and "Kiel” will certainly bid farewell to the top division.
