Brahim Diaz scored a goal that even Jude Bellingham would be proud of, and copied his celebration.
The attacking midfielder slotted into Real Madrid's no.10 berth with Bellingham out injured for the 1-0 win, and he stepped up at the start of the second half.
Leipzig completely dominated the first 45 minutes of their last 16 meeting at home, but Diaz only took two minutes of the second period to take over.
Collecting the ball on the right hand side of the box, he fooled two players while dribbling and then unleashed a perfect left-footed curler into the far corner of the net.
Running off in celebration, he then jumped and held his arms apart, copying Bellingham's iconic celebration with Vinicius Jr joining in behind him.
The goal was enough for Real to take a 1-0 lead back to Spain, despite Leipzig dominating and seeing Benjamin Sesko miss a number of chances.
The goal got the seal of approval from Bellingham, who said on X, formerly known as Twitter: «Oh my god, Brahim!!!»
Bellingham had earlier tweeted his appreciation of Vinicius and Aurelien Tchouameni mimicking his celebration behind him during his latest two-goal display for Madrid.
«My boys!» he wrote as he re-posted an image from LaLiga.
There was plenty of reason to be impressed by Diaz, though, who has made his few minutes count.
Jude Bellingham who...?
