RB Leipzig on Thursday, did what many doubt they could not do, as they defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the Quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, to qualify for their first-ever Semi-final, as they continue their run of an exciting campaign this season,.,
The win on Thursday meant that RB Leipzig are reaching their first-ever Champions League semi-final just 11 years after their formation.
After a poor first half, Dani Olmo headed the German side ahead but Atleti substitute Joao Felix levelled the tie from the penalty spot after he had been fouled in the box.
Madrid, chasing a third final in the last six years, seemed content to take the one-legged tie in Lisbon to extra time and sat back for much of the game.
They were punished for their characteristically defensive approach as Tyler Adams’ deflected strike two minutes from time sent Julian Nagelsmann’s exciting side through to face Paris St-Germain.
Leipzig will now be looking to face yet another tough battle when they face PSG in the Semi-final, as both teams are qualifying for the Champions League semi-final after over a decade.
