Having joined RB Leipzig when they were still in Germany's second division, Peter Gulacsi has seen the club grow from Bundesliga new boys and on to a first appearance in the Champions League knock-out stage.

The Hungarian goalkeeper is relishing Wednesday's last 16, first leg when the ambitious eastern German club, bankrolled by energy drinks giants Red Bull, face last season's beaten finalists Tottenham Hotspur in London.

"It's a new experience to play against an English side. It's a big opportunity and a big test," Gulacsi told AFP.

"If we have a good day, maybe we could surprise them."
"These are the games we have been fighting to play in."
- 'Step by step' - ==================
"It's a continuity, we are trying to go step by step and I am happy to be part of that."
- Liverpool lessons -

"It was still a great experience to train with the first team, to learn from those players."
"He has also stepped up his game tactically this season and his scoring form is simply superb."
