RB Leipzig's Julian Nagelsmann is already the toast of European coaching after becoming the youngest manager to reach the Champions League semifinals following Thursday's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid. While the ambitious 33-year-old has already exceeded expectations in his first season at Leipzig, Nagelsmann is eagerly looking forward to next week's semifinal encounter with Paris St. Germain, coached by fellow German Thomas Tuchel. READ | Now we want more success, says Leipzig coach Nagelsmann“Games against Thomas are always very interesting,” Nagelsmann said. Indicative of Leipzig's game plan was the fact that it was not Tyler Adams, scorer of Leipzig's winning goal in the 88th minute, but defender Dayot Upamecano who was voted man of the match. “I have often played as a coach against him but rarely won,” Nagelsmann said of his track record against Tuchel during their time in the Bundesliga.
