RB Leipzig and Real Madrid face each other this Tuesday in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
Like every year, Real Madrid returns to its favorite playing field with the knockout matches in the Champions League. The White House is, however, experiencing a rather paradoxical campaign. Authoritarian leader of La Liga and winner of the Spanish Super Cup, Carlo Ancelotti’s team must face a barrage of injuries. The latest one? Jude Bellingham. The England international joined Courtois, Militao and Alaba in the infirmary.
It is in this context that Real will challenge RB Leipzig and its French-speaking colony, with Castello Lukeba and Loïs Openda. “ We are competitors. As footballers, we dream of playing this type of match, the French international explained to us in an exclusive interview for French Football Weekly. Real Madrid are gala matches, matches that make you dream. But then we still have to remain competitive and want to win the match, not just compete. It won’t be easy but I think we have arguments to thwart them, and maybe even a little more than that…“. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
RB Leipzig : Gulacsi – Simakan, Lukeba, Orban, Raum – Olmo, Schlager, Kampl, Simons – Sesko, Openda.
real Madrid : Lunin, Carvajal, Nacho, Tchouaméni, Mendy, Camavinga, Kroos, Valverde, Brahim Diaz, Vinicius, Rodrygo.
