The two teams are among several dark horses for the European crown in what is a shortened knockout stage of the competition due to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic.
Atleti will be slight favourites heading into the tie having reached two Champions League finals in the past six years, but Leipzig have proven that they will be no pushovers even without top marksman Timo Werner who has completed his move to Chelsea.
The German Bundesliga club booked their place in the last eight with a 4-0 aggregate win over last year's losing finalists Tottenham Hotspur in the Round of 16.

Atletico trounced the winners of last year's Champions League Liverpool 4-2 on aggregate for a place in the quarter-finals.
The Spanish LaLiga club will have to do without both Angel Correa and Sime Vrsaljko for this week's match in the Portuguese capital after both players tested positive for the coronavirus.
