Rg Leipzig has reached the Champions League semifinals for the first time in their history
Adams’ goal seals Leipzig a place in their first Champions League semi-final in a 2-1 win over Atletico. Olmo opened the scoring early in the second half with a great header across goal. Joao Felix then scored the penalty that he won after coming off the bench. It looked like it was heading to extra-time until Adams’ strike took a big deflection off Savic which took it past Oblak.
Rg Leipzig were Tactically smart, bold, sets the right mood and tempo amongst themselves.
Julian Nagelsmann was coaching Hoffenheim Under-19s four years ago. Now he’s guided RB Leipzig into the semi-finals of the Champions League, outwitting Diego Simeone.
Leipzig’s attention now turns to their semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain which will be played on Tuesday as they look to pull off another upset.
As for Atletico, they now have a month’s rest before they’re back in action in the league in mid-September.
