Real Madrid welcomes RB Leipzig in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information about this match.
Made for major European meetings, the real Madrid returns to his favorite playground this Wednesday. Carlo Ancelotti’s team approaches its second round against RB Leipzig in a relatively calm climate after its precious victory in Germany three weeks ago (1-0). Big favorite of this second round, Real should not, however, look down on their opponent after conceding a few weak times in the first leg.
Opposite, RB Leipzig will still count on its well-known names in Ligue 1, such as Loïs Openda or Xavi Simons, to try to undermine a Madrid defense still remodeled with the long-term absences of Eder Militao and David Alaba.
The expected compositions
Real Madrid : Lunin – Carvajal, Nacho, Rüdiger, Mendy – Camavinga, Kroos, Valverde, Bellingham – Vinicius, Rodrygo.
RB Leipzig : Gulasci – Simakan, Klostermann, Orban, Raum – Henrichs, Schlager – Olmo, Simons – Openda, Sesko.
Where to watch the game ?
This round of 16 second leg of the Champions League between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig will be broadcast this Wednesday evening on Canal + and RMC Sport, from 9 p.m. It will also be possible to watch it on the streaming platforms of the two groups, MyCanal and RMC Sport.
