Bundesliga club RB Leipzig stunned Atletico Madrid 2-1 in Thursday night’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final in Lisbon, Portugal.

It is the first time ever Leipzig will reach the semi-final of the Champions League in their 11-year history.

They are now the first German side outside of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund to reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League since Schalke in 2010/11. After a goalless first half Leipzig broke the deadlock through Olmo who headed in Marcel Sabitzer’s cross from the right.

Felix who came on for Hector Herrera in the 58th minute, made it 1-1 from the penalty spot after he fouled inside the 18-yard box.

But with two minutes remaining in the game, Adams who was introduced on 72 minutes put Leipzig back in front with a powerful shot which took a deflection and beat Jan Oblak.

Leipzig will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final on Tuesday 18 August.

Underdogs Leipzig on semi final with psg wow. I bet my two balls for Paris saint German

congrats to them....that's the joy of a one leg competition, so many suprises in it, i can bet that lipzig wouldn't have qualified assuming its home and away because liverpool, bayern and barca cudnt withstand the rugged simeone masterplan...

i pray it continues next season, after the group stage just one leg on a neutral ground, it seems to give the smaller clubs chance to progress to the finals because big clubs like madrid, juve, barca, Bayern, city, Liverpool always struggle away and do the main work at home..

naaa...i CNT say the same...lipzig are also an attacking team like psg but with what I saw from psg yesterday, i think psg seems more determined and hungry for this cup more than the previous seasons....but since its a one leg affair, Leipzig may go tru as the dark horse...
