Nothing is decided yet in one of the most open eighths of this edition.
By winning by the smallest of margins in Germany after a very competitive match (0-1), Real Madrid took a small step towards the quarters of the Champions League.
We will now have to finish the job at the Santiago-Bernabeu, this Wednesday evening against Leipzig.
Saved by an imperial Andriy Lunin on his line (9 saves), the Madrilenians were also able to count on a superb goal from Brahim Diaz to extricate themselves from a difficult situation against the partners of Xavi Simons.
Undefeated for a month and a half in all competitions and at the top of La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti's men present themselves with certainty, they who are the record holders for victories in the premier competition (14).
The Germans are dragging their feet a little in the Bundesliga (fifth) and seem too far away to fight in the title race.
Overthrowing Real Madrid on their favorite playground would constitute a real achievement for the players of the Red Bull galaxy, swept aside at this stage of the competition by Manchester City last season (1-8 over the two matches).
The match between Real Madrid and Leipzig is scheduled to kick off at 9 p.m. this Wednesday March 6.
The match will be broadcast live on Canal + and RMC Sport 1.
