Real Madrid and Manchester City fly to the quarter-finals of the Champions League
The Blancos drew 1-1 at the Bernabeu with Leipzig in a match where the Germans were in control for almost the entire time. However, Real goes through thanks to a 1-0 win in the first leg. Leipzig plays better and comes close to making it 1-0 several times with Openda and Xavi Simons. The Bernabeu crowd boos their players but it is an individual performance from two of Real’s many champions that breaks the deadlock: Bellingham invents and Vinicius does not forgive from the center of the area in a two-on-three counterattack. But the German reaction was immediate: captain Orban equalized with a header from one of the many crosses conceded by the Spaniards. A few more chances for Leipzig but the final whistle arrives which gives qualification to Real Madrid.
In the second leg of the round of 16, however, Guardiola’s team, the reigning champions, beat Copenhagen 3-1, the same result as the first leg. This evening Akanji scored in the 5th minute, Alvarez in the 9th minute and Haaland in the 48th minute of the first half. From Elyounoussi, in the 28th minute, Copenhagen’s goal.
