Leipzig – RB Leipzig has a difficult task to overcome in the round of 16 of the Champions League, as it faces Real Madrid.
“We are looking forward to the task in our stadium.
We worked for this all last season.
We're talking about Real Madrid, one of the strongest teams in Europe.
They have developed outstandingly over the year.
They are in exceptional shape in all areas,” said RB head coach Marco Rose at the press conference.

“Real plays very flexibly and a lot on the wings.
I'm also particularly impressed that they do every meter against the ball and are willing to defend together in a compact manner.
Madrid is a team that knows how to win the Champions League.
But we also have great footballers in our ranks.
We will give everything and look for our chances with the ball.
We want to counter this and are certainly not afraid,” the coach continued.
For RB Leipzig, the first leg is about getting a good starting position so that progress in the second leg is still realistic.
But it won't be easy against the Spanish top team, who are big favorites.

RB Leipzig is hoping for a surprise in the round of 16 of the Champions League
The Leipzig coach only has words of praise for the former BVB player.
“I think he is at the right club and has taken the right step.
It doesn't surprise me that it turned out the way it did.
The fact that he scored so many goals came as a bit of a surprise.
I had him for a year.
He's a great boy and a great footballer with an incredible mentality.
Now he has taken further steps forward.”
There is great hope for a surprise against the Spanish top team in Leipzig.
“We will stay strong and try to choose our approach.
We have to defend well in all areas and be compact overall.
We will certainly also have options for switching.
And we have to try with the ball to have phases of the game in which we keep them busy,” says Rose, announcing the route.
