Real Madrid, Facing Another Big Champions League Night: Aim for Quarterfinals

Real Madrid takes on Leipzig at the Santiago Bernabéu (9:00 PM, Movistar Champions League and Radio DC).

Real Madrid is aiming for another big Champions League night at the Bernabéu.

It’s another grand night of Champions League football at the majestic Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid welcomes Leipzig (9:00 PM, Movistar Champions League and Radio DC), with Jude Bellingham’s return being the major highlight compared to the first leg, amidst recent controversy in the league.

It’s time to turn the page on what happened at Mestalla against Valencia. The whole world witnessed the robbery against Madridistas in the capital of Turia, and everything was blatantly clear, showcasing the challenges Real Madrid faces week after week.

At the Bernabéu, there was disbelief. However, now it’s time to switch competitions. Swap La Liga under Tebas for the Champions League under Ceferin. The Bernabéu is expecting another magical night to build on what was achieved in Germany in the first leg against Leipzig.

A “small advantage” was secured, as Carlo describes it, and now it’s time to confirm passage to the quarterfinals. Real Madrid took the lead overall with a 1-0 win at the Red Bull Arena, thanks to the fantastic goal scored by Brahim, and they hope to capitalize on that result to advance to the next round of the Champions League.

Technical Details: Real Madrid: Lunin, Carvajal, Rüdiger, Tchouaméni, Mendy, Camavinga, Kroos, Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrygo or Brahim, and Vinicius

Leipzig: Gulacsi, Henrichs, Lukeba, Orban, Raum, Haidara, Schalger, Olmo, Simons, Sesko, and Openda

Referee: Davide Massa

Time: 9:00 PM (Radio DC and Movistar Champions League)
