Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig LIVE!
The 14-time Champions League winners welcome their German counterparts to Santiago Bernabeu this evening looking to get the job done and reach the quarter-finals. Real Madrid hold a slender 1-0 lead on aggregate thanks to Brahim Diaz’s fine strike in the first leg.
Jude Bellingham may be suspended for domestic games but is available tonight, having missed the first leg last month due to injury, in a huge boost for Carlo Ancelotti after watching his side pushed all the way in Leipzig last month. The last time Los Blancos failed to advance after winning the first leg was five years ago against Ajax.
Leipzig are ready to give it their best shot, though, having rested a number of players at the weekend to be in prime shape for this second-leg showdown. Will they shock the Bernabeu? They impressed in the first leg and, well, stranger things have happened. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
