Leipzig keeps laughing!
3-0 against Tottenham. RB casually throws the weak last year’s finalist out of the premier class. And create history: For the first time in its history, the club is among the top eight in Europe – thanks to a super duo!
Timo Werner (24) and Marcel Sabitzer (25) do the Spurs on their own. The striker shines after scoring in the first leg (1-0) as a preparation for the Ösi. He makes everything clear with his first European double pack – in just 11 minutes.
► 10th minute: Werner benefits from a blocked shot, plays the ball to Sabitzer. The captain pulls directly from the penalty area. Lloris is still scratching the ball, but doesn’t look good at 1-0.
► 21 minutes: Angelino with plenty of room on the left. Cross, Kopball Sabitzer, 2-0.
This Sabitzer is sensational! Already 25 goal participations this season (only Werner is better with 39 scorer points). He has never been more dangerous for Leipzig in his five seasons.
Under coach Julian Nagelsmann (32), the lively wing racer has become an aggressive leader with goalie. Sabitzer acts as an extended Nagelsmann arm in the square. A sign of trust that also pays off for the trainer.
At only 32 years old, Nagelsmann is the youngest coach of all time to reach a four-part final in the Champions League – and José Mourinho (57) is out. “The Special One” lacks the victory plan in Leipzig without four top stars (Kane, Son, Sissoko and Bergwijn).
Forsberg puts the lid on shortly after his substitution with the first ball contact (87.).
Leipzig starts the German upswing in Europe. Last season was the final stage for the three Bundesliga clubs in the round of 16. RB now shows that Bayern (against Chelsea) and Dortmund (in Paris) have good chances to follow.
