Real defeated the Germans in the first meeting 1-0 and has a nice advantage ahead of the second leg, which takes place at their stadium. Though, knowing the Champions League, the Los Blancos can’t relax and underestimate the opponent.

Real Madrid vs. RB Leipzig Preview

Real Madrid

The big question for the hosts is Jude Bellingham’s status. Will he be ready after his ankle injury or not? The Englishman is the best player in the world, according to many, though his absence didn’t hurt Real that much.

Apart from losing twice to Atletico Madrid, Los Blancos didn’t suffer the taste of defeat throughout the campaign. They were dominant against most of the rivals, having an adjustable and very fluid playstyle.

RB Leipzig

The Bulls are still unstable even though they have enough quality to compete with the best European teams. Somehow, this unit can’t get a grip on domestic affairs, let alone the European challenges.

We saw them failing to flip the result against Bayern, despite having the initiative and the momentum, which wasn’t the first time this season for RB to perform like that. Yes, this unit is young and has a few very talented players, but that can’t and won’t be an alibi.

Coming into this event, Leipzig’s displays on the road have been rather poor, with losses dominating over the recent ten road trips. In all those contests, this unit allowed at least one hit, and the recent meetings have seen four or more goals on both ends.

Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig Head to Head

The first game was a bit controversial because the officials canceled RB’s early goal for nothing. Later on, we saw that such a decision wasn’t good, yet this is not a consolation for the Germans, who ended up losing the event 0-1. The only scorer was Diaz in the 48th minute.
