Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig live score, result, highlights from UEFA Champions League Round of 16
Real Madrid will attempt to reach the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals for a record-extending 39th time when they face RB Leipzig in the second leg of their Round of 16 tie.
Los Blancos lead 1-0 from the first leg courtesy of a fine strike from Brahim Diaz, who replaced the injured Jude Bellingham to good effect in Germany. Bellingham is in line to start this game, despite the looming prospect of a two-game suspension in domestic football.
Leipzig boast the firepower to threaten some of the best sides in Europe, with attackers Benjamin Sesko and Lois Openda a major threat along with the creativity of Xavi Simons and Dani Olmo, but this looks like a tall order for the German club at the Santiago Bernabeu.
They are fifth in the Bundesliga table and have only won three of their past 11 matches in all competitions, the most recent of which came last weekend as they beat strugglers Bochum 4-1.
