Champions League: Real Madrid In Strong Position Against Leipzig In Quarters Clash

By IANS News March 06, 2024 • 00:08 AM View: 206
UEFA Champions League: Spanish giants Real Madrid are the clear favourites to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Champions League when they entertain RB Leipzig on Wednesday. Carlo Ancelotti's side took a 1-0 first-leg lead into the match after Brahim Diaz's goal in Germany three weeks ago. That game saw a Leipzig goal ruled out for a controversial offside in the first half.

Real Madrid were held to a 2-2 draw away to Valencia in La Liga on Saturday, which was marred by a dreadful (and possible career-ending) knee injury suffered by home defender Mouctar Diakhaby, and a controversy triggered by referee Gil Manzano who blew for full-time moments before Jude Bellingham headed what would have been the winning goal, reports Xinhua.

Ancelotti is likely to keep Aurelian Tchouameni in central defense alongside Antonio Rudiger, with the French midfielder starting to adapt to the role and looking more effective in the back four than in the middle of the park.
