Real Madrid - Leipzig, live | Madrid dominates, while Leipzig seeks to do damage on the counterattack

PreviousDirect

Real Madrid took possession in the first minutes, while Leipzig tried to take advantage of the spaces on the counterattack.

Carlo Ancelotti decided to go for a starting eleven with five midfielders: Tchouameni, Camavinga, Kroos, Valverde and Bellingham.

Rodrygo, Brahim and Joselu wait on the bench.

Real Madrid is facing Leipzig in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, after the merengue team emerged victorious (0-1) on German territory, in the first leg of the tie.

The whites are looking to confirm this slight advantage at the Santiago Bernabéu this Wednesday to ensure their presence in the quarterfinals of the competition.

Madrid seems to have the situation under control, but the recent accusation of its coach, Carlo Ancelotti, for tax fraud, could mean an element of deconcentration.

Dangerous chance for RB Leipzig!

A great and quick combination leaves Openda at the top of the area, and his shot also goes wide, but Lunin had to dive to cover his post.

Good minutes from the visitors in this stretch of the game.
