Competition: Europe Champions League
Competition: Wed 19.February
Match begins: 20:00 (UTC)
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (62000 seats)

The first of two encounters in the Champions League 8th Finals, as the hometeam Tottenham Hotspur will try to edge RB Leipzig in their own ballpark.

It's no vacation for neither Tottenham Hotspur nor RB Leipzig as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

RB Leipzig have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
