RB Leipzig can realistically get past Tottenham in the last 16 of the Champions League and their chances are improved by Harry Kane’s absence, says Lukas Klostermann.
Julian Nagelsmann has guided Leipzig, who sit one point behind leaders Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, into the knockout stages in just their second season in Europe’s premier club competition.
The first leg will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday, with the return match at the Red Bull Arena three weeks later.
Germany international Klostermann believes Leipzig are more than capable of reaching the quarter-finals despite being up against a team that finished as Champions League runners-up in 2018-19
