Leipzig blank Spurs about approach to maiden Champions Little league quarterfinal
Tottenham crashed out of your Champions League while RB Leipzig cruised to a good 3-0 gain on Tuesday to progress to the quarter-finals for the very first time 4-0 on aggregate.

Unlike many fittings across Europe this week, there have been no constraints on supporters attending because of the spread of coronavirus and the Leipzig fans could actually enjoy a nerve-free evening.
Spurs travelled to eastern Germany shorn of striking alternatives without the injured Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Steven Bergwijn.
However, it had been at the additional end that they buckled inside the opening quarter of the game as two mistakes from Hugo Lloris in target turned a tough process into an impossible one.
Mourinho left club record signing Tanguy Ndombele in the bench soon after publicly criticising the French midfielder's desire found in Saturday's 1-1 pull at Burnley, but the switch to a 3-4-3 formation did little to avoid Spurs' winless streak in every competitions stretching to six games.
Leipzig took just ten minutes to open the scoring when Lloris didn't get a strong enough right hand to avoid Sabitzer's strike from beyond your box finding the bottom corner.
Timo Werner then fired residence from close range only to come to be denied by the offside flag as being Leipzig exposed the Tottenham defence in will.
And the visitors did not uncover their lesson as Serge Aurier was caught napping by a purposeful burst from Angelino.
The Manchester City loanee's cross was met by a powerful header by Sabitzer, but Lloris should still did better to keep carefully the ball out at his near post.
Lloris did make some measure of amends by saving from Werner and Patrik Schick to keep carefully the score down before half-time, while in the additional end Peter Gulasci was finally forced into action by Erik Lamela.
Spurs produced a exceptional fightback from 3-0 straight down on aggregate away at Ajax found in last season's semi-finals to help make the final for the very first time in the club's record thanks to Lucas Moura's hat-trick.
But in keeping with their collapse since that night in Amsterdam last May, Mourinho's males lacked the product quality and belief had a need to reproduce that thrilling fightback.
Moura was first again the one way to obtain inspiration seeing as he teed up Dele Alli for Spurs' best chance of the night, however the England midfielder's mishit work was easily saved by Gulasci.
Forsberg was more clinical just 32 secs after replacing Sabitzer to fire into the far corner three minutes from time.
Tottenham's season now hinges on refinding their contact form in the Premier Group if they are not to lose out on the Champions Little league for the very first time in five years.
Spurs are languishing found in eighth found in the Premier League, seven items adrift of the very best four, and found in desperate dependence on Mourinho to actual revenge on Manchester United for his sacking last season when the Crimson Devils go to north London on Sunday.
