Storylines
Real Madrid: At home, Real Madrid are close to unstoppable as they’re unbeaten in their last 10 home matches in the competition. When just a draw can see Real Madrid through to the next round, all the pressure is on RB Leipzig to come out quickly in the match. With Vinicius Junior in form, if the German side isn’t attentive enough defensively, it could be caught out quickly as the match has the potential to get out of hand.
RB Leipzig: Struggling on the road, RB Leipzig will now go into one of the toughest environments in all of soccer in an away trip to Real Madrid. Lois Openda, Xavi Simons, and Sesko can cause trouble on the attacking end but there’s a balance that needs to be struck between attacking and defending since the deficit is only one goal. Attacking too much, the German side will run the risk of being caught out but even bunkering will give Real Madrid too much of the ball.
Prediction
With a chance to qualify for the last eight, Real Madrid won’t let this one slip through their fingers continuing the march toward another Champions League final appearance. Pick: Real Madrid 2, RB Leipzig 0
