Where to watch Real Madrid-Leipzig
(first leg 1-0)
Ore 21 su Amazon Prime Video
Real Madrid has just returned from a weekend full of controversy due to what happened in La Liga against Valencia, in the match which ended 2-2, but in which the referee Gil Manzano was the protagonist and blew the end whistle when Bellingham (later sent off) made it 3-2. Situation that made Carlo Ancelotti very angry. Los Blancos, however, have to think about the Champions League match against Leipzig. They start from the 1-0 obtained in Germany: The risks are to play against an excellent team. He demonstrated it in the first leg, where we suffered but also had the ability to win. A race becomes a trap if you don’t do things right, we think and are convinced that we do things right. The opponent deserves respect, Ancelotti’s thought.

Manchester City, champions of everything, is back on the field. We start again from the 3-1 victory won by Pep Guardiola’s team in Denmark. Data in hand, Copenhagen have never won in four matches against the Citizens, only managing two draws (and two defeats). Instead, Manchester City have never won away against Danish teams in the main European competitions, drawing with Copenhagen in 2009 in the UEFA Cup and in 2022 in the Champions League and losing against Aalborg in 2009, also in the UEFA Cup. In football anything can happen and we must be aware of it. The best eight teams in Europe will advance to the next round. We have the possibility of reaching the quarter-finals again and this is the objective, the words of Pep Guardiola.
