Julian Nagelsmann got the better of Jose Mourinho in the battle of the generations as RB Leipzig earned a 1-0 first-leg win in its Champions League last-16 tie against Tottenham. Atalanta hammered Valencia, 4-1, in Wednesday's other game.
Leipzig dominated Tottenham from the start and would have won far more comfortably but for a series of fine saves from Hugo Lloris. If there is a regret for Nagelsmann it’s that his side won by only one goal, which came as Timo Werner converted a 58th-minute penalty.
In Italy, Hans Hateboer struck twice, as Atalanta lived up to its reputation for open, free-flowing football in what was arguably the biggest game in the club’s history.
