It was an excellent opening leg for Real Madrid in the Champions League, and their away win in Germany ensures that they come into this return fixture with a commanding advantage. It was a tight affair between the sides in Germany in early February, but the ultimate winning goal was netted by Brahim Diaz.
That victory was their second in three matches against Leipzig in the Champions League, with only one defeat having been suffered. These two sides previously collided at the Bernabeu in the group stage of the 2022-23 season, with Real landing a comfortable 2-0 win over their German rivals.
