Valencia-Atalanta: 3-4
(Gameiro 21st, 51st, Torres 67th; Ilicic 3rd, 43rd, 71st, 82nd)
The Italians’ victory in the first leg (4-1) left little room for suspense. And yet, Valencia and Atalanta managed to thrill viewers on Tuesday, failing to ignite empty stands. In the end, it was Bergamo who had another victory synonymous with a shift and it was Josip Ilicic who won the player of the match title.
At 32, the Slovenian signed a quadruple, registering first two penalties, caused by only Mouctar Diakhaby, then two beautiful strikes from the left. Valencian side, the French Kevin Gameiro went there with his double and Ferran Torres put the third.

Leipzig-Tottenham: 3-0
(Sabitzer 10th, 22nd, Forsberg 87th)
A success in the outward journey, a success in the return. Already victorious in London three weeks ago (1-0), RB Leipzig once again dominated Tottenham to race for the next round. Faced with very weak, and very disorganized Spurs, Julian Nagelsmann’s men recited their football.
From the start of the match, captain Marcel Sabitzer twice cheated on Hugo Lloris, first with the right foot, then with the head, and Emil Forsberg hit the nail in the closing moments. Note the good performances of the French Dayot Upamecano and Nordi Mukiele, and the inability of José Mourinho to make his players react.
