Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig
Madrid have a one-goal advantage against their German opponents and the 14-time Champions League will be hosting RB Leipzig at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu.
Los Blancos are currently unbeaten in UCL, they have won all of their seven matches and are the only team in this year’s edition to have a 100% win record. As the Whites are aiming to clinch their record-extending 15th European title, they are expected to face tough competition from teams like Manchester City, Bayern Munich and others.
Meanwhile, the reigning champions, Manchester City, have secured their seventh consecutive victory, triumphing 3-1 against Copenhagen in Denmark three weeks ago during the initial leg.
While Manchester City holds a 3-1 advantage in their Champions League Round of 16 encounter against FC Copenhagen, manager Pep Guardiola has cautioned his team against complacency ahead of Wednesday's second leg clash at home.
Currently positioned second in the Premier League, City is set to face table-toppers Liverpool on Sunday, trailing them by just a single point. However, Guardiola stressed that their primary focus remains on progressing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
