- RB Leipzig won 1-0 (1-0) in the first knockout round of the Champions League at Tottenham Hotspur
- Curiously, some RB players wore two different jerseys
- Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann cleared the jersey breakdown after the game
Munich - It was a more than convincing performance by RB Leipzig this Wednesday evening in north London. In the first Champions League round of 16 in club history, RB Leipzig dominated the hosts and last year's finalist Tottenham Hotspur almost at will. Annoying that in the end it was "only" enough for a narrow 1-0 victory. Timo Werner, who is said to be lured to the island by Liverpool FC, scored the golden goal with a penalty (57 ').
From the very first minute, Coach Julian Nagelsmann's team overran the Spurs in their own stadium. The fans at White Hart Lane couldn't believe their eyes when three great chances of the guests were counted in the first three minutes.

"In such situations, young teams often get impatient," said Nagelsmann after the game: "But we didn't overdo it." Afterwards, the Leipzig team continued to act aggressively without losing their heads. In the style of a top team . Nagelsmann had discussed this attribute with his boys a few weeks ago.
That evening in London the nail men acted the same way. "We noticed that Tottenham was beatable," said the youngest coach in the history of the Champions League, who each played in a round of 16. And despite the dangerous result, Nagelsmann "in the cabin didn't feel that my team was taking the second leg lightly now."

Except for the exploitation of opportunities, there was really nothing to complain about about the appearance of the bulls, right ?! Not quite. The viewers on the TV screen noticed a small jersey breakdown at RB! For example, Timo Werner , Lukas Klostermann and Christopher Nkunku used different jerseys in the first half than the rest of the team. The main sponsor's logo did not shine in yellow and red, but was black.

"I talked to the station attendants," said Nagelsmann after the game, addressing the faux pas: "On the way from the hotel, the box with the completely correct jerseys got lost."
The coach reacted nonchalantly: "We have to go looking where it has gone," said Nagelsmann with a wink: "The two sniffers are already on their way so that we can wear the right jerseys in the second leg."
And if possible, you want to buy the quarter-final ticket in a uniform look . The chances are not so bad after the strong appearance in London ...
BVB also delivered a memorable performance in their round of 16 first leg. Especially Erling Haaland was on everyone's lips with his two goals against PSG.
