Julian Naglesmann - Leipzig manager
 
Leipzig have never won a European competition and they only made their debut in the Champions League in 2017, and they are now looking to clinch their first trophy this season. 
 
Julian Naglesmann, the Leipzig manager, is not getting carried away ahead of the second-leg clash with Tottenham.

“It is only the first game. You have to perform the same level in both games. We were very good and it is well deserved, but in the second leg we have to perform the same way,” Naglesmann said.

“I do not have the feeling in the dressing room that our team say it is easy to win against Tottenham.

“It will be complicated as well in the second leg, but it will be possible and we will do our best and I hope we will get to the next round.”

Meanwhile, Tottenham are keen to overturn the deficit and go on to reach the last eight of the prestigious competition.

The English side were beaten by German champions Bayern Munich in their last game on the road in this season's competition.
 
Tottenham were crowned UEFA Cup Winners' Cup champions in 1963, but have never won the Champions League trophy and they will be hoping to clinch their maiden title this year. 
 
Leipzig are set to host Tottenham for the first time in a competitive match.
