London - The red bulls from Leipzig meet last year's finalist Tottenham Hotspur in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League . For the first leg on February 19 (kick-off 9:00 p.m.) , the Leipzig team headed by trainer Julian Nagelsmann, who has just put up a fight against the criticism of a player, will travel to London . Progress is quite possible, but with Jose Mourinho there is also a real tactical fox on the bench of the Lilywhites.
Tottenham Hotspur is currently weakening - an opportunity for Leipzig?
He should turn the helm around Tottenham again, because under Mauricio Pochettino there was little to be seen of the glory that led the Spurs to the CL final last season. “The Special One” has been sitting on the executive chair since November.
He slowly put the team back on the road to success, but slowly. In the Premier League, the games under Mou were always close - mostly ended with a difference of just one goal. The table situation is still below expectations. The Spurs are only fifth before the game against RB Leipzig and are 36 (!!!) points behind leaders Liverpool.

- Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) February 16, 2020The last three league games could all be won, including the game against Manchester City. The dress rehearsal for the Champions League game against Aston Villa was only successful at the last minute: Heung-Min Son scored the 3-2 win against the promoted team in the 94th minute. Nevertheless, Mou again collected important points in the fight for fourth place.
Tottenham without Kane - Werner's guarantee of success for RB Leipzig
It looks a lot rosier for RB Leipzig . The Bulls greeted for a day from the top of the table after their 3-0 win over Werder Bremen at the weekend before FC Bayern moved up a point ahead of Leipzig on Sunday with their victory in Cologne. For Leipzig it will also depend on Timo Werner, who with his marksmanship is a guarantee for RB success this season. The Leipziger have a small advantage because: Tottenham's top striker Harry Kane still fails due to a hamstring muscle tear.
The game Leipzig against Tottenham is also characterized by the duel between Julian Nagelsmann and Jose Mourinho on the coaching benches. Nagelsmann was already joking before the game: “I hope that we don't get in touch too often on the sidelines, because he can be quick-tempered. Then we both sit in the stands and eat a bratwurst roll. ”
