Real Madrid Team News

When Jude Bellingham had to leave the field due to an ankle injury, his teammate Brahim Diaz surprised the Red Bull Arena with a brilliant solo run that secured Real’s victory in the first leg of the round of 16. Diaz skillfully navigated through Leipzig’s defense and found the top corner of the net with a precise strike. However, despite creating several opportunities for the attacking-minded hosts, especially for Benjamin Sesko, the German team’s missed chances, resilient defense, and impressive saves from Andriy Lunin allowed Los Blancos to secure the win with a narrow advantage.

In the past three weeks, Real has only managed one victory in three La Liga matches, drawing 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano and narrowly defeating Sevilla 1-0 before facing controversy in the match against Valencia. Bellingham thought he had scored the winning goal for Real Madrid with a last-minute header, but the referees halted play just as Diaz delivered a cross into the penalty area, leading to furious protests from Los Blancos.

However, despite still being seven points ahead of Girona at the top of the La Liga table, Real Madrid must now avoid a second Champions League exit after winning the first leg. Bellingham will receive a warning for his dismissal against Valencia, and although he will be able to play against Leipzig, he needs to be cautious as he faces suspension if he receives another yellow card.

Eduardo Camavinga will certainly start the match despite being in a similar situation, while the only three injury concerns for Ancelotti’s team are David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois, and Eder Militao, with the latter two expected to return next month.

RB Leipzig Team News

Marc Rose’s team could and arguably should have found their way to Los Blancos’ net at the Red Bull Arena on February 13, but their finishing was lacking, something they managed to rectify in their 4-1 victory over Bochum this weekend. After Peter Gulacsi conceded a goal from Max Wittek’s free-kick in the seventh minute, Dani Olmo, Lois Openda, and Yussuf Poulsen saved the team from defeat.

However, Leipzig still lags behind in the race for the top four spots due to a poor run of results. The win against Bochum was only Rose’s team’s third victory in 10 competitive matches, leaving them just a point behind Borussia Dortmund in fifth place in the Bundesliga. Now, they head to the Bernabeu having failed to win any of their last six Champions League knockout matches, a streak that dates back to the 2019/20 season. The German challengers face the threat of a third round of 16 exit in the past four seasons, with their previous visit to Real Madrid’s turf in the 2022/23 group stage resulting in a 2-0 defeat with goals from Federico Valverde and Marco Asensio.

Regarding absent players, coach Rose will be forced into changes due to suspension, as French defender Mohamed Simakan received his third yellow card and will miss the trip to the Spanish capital, along with Lukas Klostermann, the only injury casualty in the Leipzig team. This means that Castello Lukeba and Willi Orban are likely to form an unchanged defensive line in front of Gulacsi, who has only just returned from an abdominal muscle injury.

Midfielder Xaver Schlager returns from suspension in the Bundesliga, although the Austrian international is likely to be immediately reinstated in midfield instead of compatriot Nicolas Seiwald. Openda, who scored his 17th Bundesliga goal of the season as a substitute in the victory over Bochum, is ready to replace Christoph Baumgartner to play alongside Sesko, who missed three big chances in the first leg against Ancelotti’s team.

Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig Prediction

After Real Madrid secures a victory in the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage, it’s evident what awaits their opponents. This time shouldn’t be any different, especially considering Leipzig’s inconsistent form since the beginning of the year. Perhaps Rose’s team will finally manage to breach Lunin’s goal if their finishing resembles that of last weekend, rather than in the first leg. Nonetheless, motivated by Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s team might respond even more decisively to secure their place in the quarterfinals.
