    RB Leipzig 3-0 Spurs (4-0 agg)

    RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann to BT Sport: "It was a great moment for the history of the club and for me as a manager. It's totally deserved we go to the next round. We had control of both games, scored four goals and conceded none.

    "Perfection is difficult in soccer because you'll always make mistakes. But we had control of both legs. Our control was a bit better in the first game.

    "We were a bit lazy in the first 10 minutes of the second half but we got more powerful after that. If we pushed a little bit more we could have scored more goals. But it's OK, I'm happy with 3-0.

    "It's good if you have a young team who have a lot of self-confidence."

  5. 'We will party in June'published at 22:37 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2020

    Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini has dedicated tonight's win to those left back home in northern Italy.

    "We are very happy for what this result represents for a territory that is suffering so much," he said.

    "We know that many people followed us at home, who cannot go out to celebrate. But we will have time to do it in June at the end of the championship.

    "We will have a big party for everything, also for this danger that we will defeat."

  6. 'Spurs have lost their identity'published at 22:29 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2020

    RB Leipzig 3-0 Tottenham (Agg: 4-0)

    Yes they’ve lost their strikers, but they’ve also lost their identity. They haven’t found a way of playing without Kane and Son yet. They concede first in so many games, they just seem a bit lost.

    It may mean having a short term fix of playing ugly football until their strikers are back, because at the minute they are just drifting through games - and they will be losing confidence.

    Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho on BT Sport: "Look, of course I was positive yesterday, that's the way I have to be all of the time. If you're not positive it's better not to come to the game.

    "Yes we all believed but we know that in this moment it's very difficult. They are a very strong side.

    "It's hard for us to score at the moment. Our first couple of mistakes they score and then it's very difficult. Their physicality is incredible, their defenders win the duels, they stop the game. They are very fast in attack. They can hurt us all of the time, they deserve to go through.

    "If I can be critical of some of my players, I keep this for us. They tried to give what they can give.

    "We made mistakes, mistakes that we have analysed in previous matches. I never blame players with some difficulties. It's hard for me to cope with players who cannot express their potential, not those who are at their limit. I am with the boys.

    "I think probably it’s good [going out]. Difficult moments can prepare the future in a better way.

    "There is nobody to blame. In every match we have a traumatic injury. That's the history of this season. It is non stop. It started with problems and you look to the position in the table when we arrived but the negative history arrived with Hugo Lloris's injury.

    "Look to our bench, look to the pitch with Tanganga in his first match, Sessegnon in his second match. It’s very, very hard."

    Do Tottenham need a summer rebuild? “I don’t think so. This summer, unless something happens during the holidays, when we start we will have Sissoko, Kane, Son, Bergwyn, Davies so that is massive.

    “People can say it’s excuses but it’s [the injuries] pretty bad for anyone and I don’t think anyone would resist in this situation. We have matches to play and we go to our limits. Let’s see how we end the season.”

    Alex Reddick: Jose has to go. Yes injuries haven’t helped but his negativity has not helped in any way! Poch was right and no one listened to him. Club didn’t back him. #bbcfootball

    Rory: #bbcfootball Massive changes are needed, proper back up for Kane instead of making do with Son and a replacement for Lloris. He is 33 and on the way down. However, Levy will be tight financially despite boasting £400 million profit last month!

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli on BT Sport: "It's devastating. We had belief before the game and we didn't perform. This is the Champions League, if you don't step up you will be punished.

    "After the first one went in it didn't change much but we conceded too many chances as a team. It's hard to come back from those two goals. We had to show our maturity and fight and we didn't do that.

    "We can't use excuses, we still have quality on the pitch. We are missing good players but that happens. The players coming in have to step up and we haven't done that today.

    "We apologise to the fans, to go out and lose like that, they deserve better.

    "We have to fight. We can't be in the position we are in in the league, we can't hide. This hasn't been a good season for us.

    "The reality is we are in a bad situation, confidence has gone at the minute.

    "All the players are mature enough to know we’re not doing well enough. You always have to look at yourself first and I’ll do that and I’m sure the others will as well."

    RB Leipzig 3-0 Tottenham (Agg: 4-0)

    Derby County midfielder Tom Huddlestone on BBC Radio 5 Live: “Mourinho was probably licking his lips at the thought of Norwich at home in the FA Cup, going into a potential quarter-final against Man Utd but it wasn’t to be.

    "He’ll be praying that Man City do get a ban so that fifth place is up for grabs which is more realistic, especially with Harry Kane back on the training ground.”

    Dom from Cornwall: Dier has been worse than Lloris tonight. How was this guy a staple in the England team? Looks like he's won a competition to be on the pitch these days.

    Kevin from Norwich: Tell me again how Spurs aren't just Harry Kane?

    Kevo from Burgess Hill: What a difference a year makes. What has happened to this Spurs side? No fight in them. Going out with a whimper. Mourinho is sucking the life out of this squad.
