United States midfielder Tyler Adams basked in the glory of scoring Leipzig's late winner against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals on Thursday and admitted: "I am not your typical goal scorer." Leipzig, who were only founded in 2009, reached the semi-finals for the first time with a 2-1 win over Atletico, twice runners-up.
They will face Paris Saint-Germain for a place in the final. Holding midfielder Adams scored the winner in the 88th minute, his first goal for the club, after a Joao Felix penalty had cancelled out Dani Olmo's opener for Leipzig. "I am not your typical goal scorer, but I am happy I could help the team," said Adams, who came on as a substitute. Adams' effort came after his fired shot took a cruel deflection of Stefan Savic and flew in.
