Nagelsmann revels in Leipzig’s control of Tottenham tie

RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann hailed his side for controlling both legs of their Champions League win over Tottenham.

The German side knocked out Spurs 4-0 on aggregate, with the second leg ending 3-0 to confirm their place in the quarter-finals.

Nagelsmann was proud that his side were able to make history against Jose Mourinho’s floundering Spurs, but claimed they were more in control after the first leg, despite it only ending 1-0.

“It was a great moment for the history of the club and for me as a manager,” he told BT Sport. “It’s totally deserved we go to the next round. We had control of both games, scored four goals and conceded none.

“Perfection is difficult in soccer because you’ll always make mistakes. But we had control of both legs. Our control was a bit better in the first game.

“We were a bit lazy in the first 10 minutes of the second half but we got more powerful after that. If we pushed a little bit more we could have scored more goals. But it’s OK, I’m happy with 3-0.

“It’s good if you have a young team who have a lot of self-confidence.”
