RB Leipzig were unstoppable, choking Madrid from the start. The absences may have made a difference, but all credit must go to Rose’s team. Carlo Ancelotti’s team never really got going and were never given a chance to rest. Vinicius gave it his all and had some bright moments, but Timo Werner’s finish was enough to see the fight for first place go down to the wire.

With Real Madrid already having qualified for the last 16, manager Carlo Ancelotti rested several regular starters and his side were dominated early by the young Leipzig team.The home side took the lead 13 minutes into the game with Josko Gvardiol scoring on the rebound from a Thibaut Courtois save after a bullet header by Andre Silva.With the European champions still recovering from the first blow, Leipzig extended their lead five minutes later when David Raum tried to pass into the box but the ball deflected off a defender into the path of Christopher Nkunku who was quick to react and rifled the ball in off the crossbar.

Leipzig had two more great chances, but Courtois saved Amadou Haidara’s strike from the edge of the box and Nkuku put a close-range shot wide after beating the onrushing Madrid keeper to the ball but ending up with a tight angle trying to find the empty net.
Vinicius Junior put Real back into the game just before the break with a header that went just inside the left post.But a Timo Werner strike from close range to finish a quick counter-attack in the 81st minute put Leipzig 3-1 up.After being fouled, Rodrygo got up to convert a penalty for Real’s second goal in added time but it was not enough to avoid their first loss in all competitions this season.
