UEFA Champions League | 2026-10-21 21:00
Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid
📊 Match Insights
On Wednesday evening, Real Madrid will aim to protect their one-goal lead in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round-of-16 against RB Leipzig at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. The advantage was secured three weeks ago thanks to a stunning solo goal from Brahim Diaz at the Red Bull Arena.
In the Spanish capital, Real Madrid is favored by bookmakers for this match. However, their recent form has been less than stellar, with only one victory in their last three La Liga matches. This includes a contentious 2-2 draw against Valencia on Saturday, where the referee, Jesus Gil Manzano, ended the match just before Jude Bellingham could score what would have been a last-minute winner.
RB Leipzig also faced challenges in their recent Bundesliga match but managed to bounce back with a convincing 4-1 victory over Bochum. Despite this win, Marco Rose's side is still one point behind Borussia Dortmund in the race for a top-four finish in the Bundesliga.
The two teams previously met during the group stage of last season's UEFA Champions League, with each side securing a home victory. In their last encounter in Madrid, Real Madrid triumphed 2-0, thanks to second-half goals from Fede Valverde and Marco Asensio.
Notably, only one of the last three head-to-head matches between these teams saw goals scored by both sides.
