Real Madrid beat RB Leipzig 1-0 in Champions League round of 16. Brahim Díaz-Schlenzer scored the only goal of the game in the second half.

The game was overshadowed by a controversial decision by the referees. The second leg will take place in Madrid on March 6th. The Bundesliga club is now under pressure despite a good performance over long stretches against the Spanish top team. “It’s very bitter for us because we definitely weren’t the worse team today,” said goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi.
