Timo Werner: "Tottenham does not really know who RB Leipzig is"

Tottenham are preparing to host RB Leipzig in the Champions League last-16 first leg game on Wednesday, February 19. Ahead of the game, RB Leipzig centre-forward Timo Werner has spoken out on their group stage run, Spurs as well as the clash against Jose Mourinho's side. "We showed in the group phase that we were at least equal to every opponent," he told the club's official website. "That we ended up first in our group, a group in which there were no favourites, is really remarkable. "We always came back in the important moments and have secured 1st place at the end. Tottenham is a top team with a very good coach. "Of course we know that it will be a great game at Tottenham Stadium in front of a mega backdrop and we will face a team that will be very difficult against us. "Nevertheless, we are confident enough that we want to put our stamp on the game. "We are looking forward to this round of sixteen. We have nothing to lose and want to go into the game in London with joy and fun - that is exactly the right attitude for such an important game. "Tottenham does not really know who RB Leipzig is - I hope you know that after this round of 16." source - Football.London
