Everything you need to know about the Champions League fixture

Real Madrid host RB Leipzig in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 and face a battle to reach the quarter-finals.

In the first leg, Los Blancos were without the injured Jude Bellingham and left Germany with a slender lead after Brahim Diaz earned them a 1-0 win.

Despite Real’s impressive record in the competition, RB Leipzig can afford to throw everything at the match, having had nine shots on target during the opening leg.

But the Bernabeu will be a different challenge, and Real have only failed to win one of their last 20 two-legged ties when they have held a lead going into the second leg – against Ajax in 2018-19 in the round of 16.
