Joao Felix came off the bench and equalized with a penalty kick in the 71st minute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though the match seemed destined to enter extra time, Tyler Adams\u2019 decisively struck in the 88th-minute. Savi\u0107 deflection took the ball past Oblak and there they were. Leipzig\u2019s first semi-final date with PSG is now set for Wednesday, August 19.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We became a little passive after it went 1-0 and it was very close,\u201d said Leipzig manager Nagelsmann after the victory. \u201cWe definitely were a little lucky with how we scored the winner. Still, we were the better team overall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nagelsmann, 33, has now become the youngest manager to reach the CL semi-finals after outmaneuvering Diego Simeone. For context: Nagelsmann was born in 1987, the exact year Simeone made his professional debut for Velez Sarsfield.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rio Ferdinand criticized Simeone\u2019s defensive strategy after the game. Instead of exploiting Leipzig\u2019s comparative inexperience at this stage, Atl\u00e9tico primarily remained behind the half-line for most of the time and allowed Leipzig to play their free-flowing attacking style of football.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">RB Leipzig player Dayot Upamecano received the Man of the Match gong.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Great Leap forward by Leipzig<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the formation of the club in 2009, Leipzig reached the semifinal of the Champions League in 11 short years. The club was quickly promoted to the fourth, third, and second division in 2010, 2013, and 2014, respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They entered the Bundesliga in 2016 and finished the subsequent season as runner-up. Now, in 2020, they\u2019ve reached the CL\u2019s semi-finals and have their eyes on the biggest European club football prize of all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisbon- German club RB Leipzig has marched onto their first-ever Champions League semi-final after defeating Spanish giants Atl\u00e9tico Madrid, 2-1 on Friday.
