A one-off Champions League quarter-final will help relative newcomers RB Leipzig take on Atletico Madrid, says manager Julian Nagelsmann.

The Bundesliga side have never made the knockout stage before and face an Atleti side who have twice reached the final in the last six years.

“They have a lot of experience over two legs, but anything can happen in just one game,” Nagelsmann said.

“We will all be thrown into cold water, because of this situation.”

The winners of the quarter-final in Lisbon will face Paris St-Germain in the last four.

Leipzig will not have Timo Werner available after he signed for Chelsea for £54m.

Werner scored 34 goals in all competitions as Nagelsmann’s side finished third in the Bundesliga.

“We don’t have Werner and I won’t say who will start,” said Nagelsmann.
