It didn't take more than ten minutes for Marcel Sabitzer to lead his home team with 1-0 in the eighth quarter-final against Tottenhem.
It was a steep uphill early for the London team. Leipzig had a 1-0 oath and an important goal away from the first meeting. And ten minutes after the lead goal, Sabitzer stayed again.
Angelino got the ball down to the short side and found a pass to Sabitzer, who came at full speed in the penalty area and nodded 2-0 at the first post.
Emil Forsberg had to make a substitution after 87 minutes. Immediately after the run-in, he appeared in the penalty area and placed the final score 3-0.
Leipzig won the double with a total of 4-0 and are ready for the quarterfinals.
Mukiele carried on stretcher
At the beginning of the second half, the home team's Nordi Mikiele got a ball up in the head that took unlucky. He fell directly to the ground and became recumbent. Healthcare workers arrived quickly and Mikiele had to be carried on stretcher. He was constantly conscious and could sit up by his own machine, but was lifted directly into the dressing room.
Targeted dual meeting - Ilicic four-goal shooter
At the second meeting of the evening, Atalanta was set against Valencia on away ground. The Italians brought with them a reassuring 4-1 lead from the first meeting and after taking the lead already in the third minute of the match on penalty, the thing was clear.
Atalanta's Josip Ilicic scored four goals in tonight's meeting, two of them on penalties. Otherwise, it was a consistent story and it was Valencia who took the lead by 3-2 in the 67th minute. But Atalanta was clearly the stronger team over two meetings and won a total of 8–4.
Ilicic is the oldest player to make hattrick on away ground in the Champions League. He is 32 years and 41 days.
