Yussuf Poulsen revelled in an amazing moment after RB Leipzig moved into the Champions League semi-finals.
Tyler Adams deflected 88th-minute strike lifted Leipzig to a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals on Thursday.
A penalty from Joao Felix had earlier cancelled out Dani Olmo s opener in Lisbon, but Leipzig – founded just 11 years ago – advanced.
Poulsen, who arrived at the club in 2013, was delighted as Leipzig s rise continued, having been in the fifth tier in Germany in 2009-10.
You couldn t write a better story. It is a huge day and an amazing moment – we have to enjoy it, he said, via the club s website.
Another fantastic game is around the corner. We were the better team and are deservedly through to the semi-final.
WHAT. A. FEELING.
Good night, everyone

Adams found the winner in the 88th minute thanks to a huge deflection after a cutback from Angelino.
Poulsen praised Leipzig for their response to Joao Felix s 71st-minute equaliser for Atletico.
All the players brought their best game, and we did a lot of things perfectly, he said.
Joao Felix is a brilliant player, but after his goal we kept our composure, and created more chances for ourselves.
RB Leipzig will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
