Leipzig gave no option to Tottenham, current European runner-up, against which he won in his stadium in the round of 16 of the Champions League, so he qualified for the first time in the quarterfinals, having won 1-0 in the first leg . (3-0: Narration and statistics)

Far superior, Leipzig made things clear with two goals from his captain, the Austrian Marcel Sabitzer (10 and 22), that put the impossible tie for the Spurs of Jose Mourinho. In the final stretch Emil Forsberg, who had just entered by the double scorer, made the final 3-0 (87).

The Portuguese coach, 57 years old and winner of the Champions League in 2004 with Oporto and in 2010 with Inter, lost the generational battle with the prodigy of the benches Julian Nagelsmann, in the quarterfinals of the Champions at 32 years old.

In the first two goals Leipzig took advantage of the defensive ineffectiveness of Tottenham. In the first, after a shot by Timo Werner, the German international himself gave Sabitzer, who hit with a cross shot that folded the hands of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. After a goal canceled by Werner, Leipzig continued with his festival and won the second.

In a game change the ivory Serge Aurier failed to clear the head and Angelio, a pual on the left, served for Sabitzer appeared at the near post and scored with a header against a Lloris again too soft. It was his fourth in the current Champions.

The game went to the locker room with Tottenham in need of a miracle, three goals, to return to the quarterfinals. But without his captain and offensive leader Harry Kane, nor the Korean explosive Son Heung-min, he didn't even have clear chances.

Even Leipzig had time to achieve the third, in a shot inside the Forsberg area after a center of the tireless Angelio.
