Real Madrid know they face a tough test against RB Leipzig to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Struggling without the injured Jude Bellingham, Los Blancos left Germany with a narrow 1-0 first-leg lead thanks to Brahim Diaz's superb strike.
RB Leipzig would have been good value for a draw at home and will head to Madrid knowing a last-eight berth is a slim possibility despite their opponents’ remarkable record in this competition.

Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig team news
Bellingham missed the first leg and will start the second, though is one yellow card away from a ban, along with Eduardo Camavinga. David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao are long-term absentees, otherwise Real Madrid have a clean bill of health.
RB Leipzig will have to make do without the suspended defender Mohamed Simakan but midfielder Xaver Schlager has served a ban of his own to be available. Lois Openda should get the nod ahead of Christoph Baumgartner up front.
Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig prediction
Real Madrid rode their luck in the first leg and that will be on their minds despite Leipzig’s inconsistent form otherwise in 2024.
Carlo Ancelotti also has his squad in far better shape than three weeks ago, so this should be a fairly routine win on aggregate.
Real Madrid in to win, 3-0 agg.
