JAKARTA - Real Madrid will face RB Leipzig, Wednesday 6b March or Thursday morning WIB in the second leg of the Champions League last 16, with Los Blancos seeded to advance to the next round after winning the first leg. Although Leipzig showed solid performance in the previous meeting, Madrid are believed to secure their place in the quarter-finals of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Madrid have won two of their previous three meetings against Leipzig, including a 2-0 win at the Santiago Bernabegueu at their last meeting.
This time it will be Leipzig's 3rd visit to the headquarters of the Spanish team in European competition, where they lost their last visit to Madrid, but managed to win over Real Sociedad in the 2021-22 Europa League play-offs.
Real Madrid rarely failed to advance from two games in the knockout stages of the Champions League after winning the first leg, except on one occasion against Ajax in the 2018-19 season. They have won all seven of their games in this season's competition, and the win in the second leg will mark their longest winning streak in a season in the Champions League, matching their achievements in the 2014-15 season.
Both teams had the most shot into the net after a high-ball recovery in the Champions League this season. In the previous meeting, Brahim D Wayz's opener to Madrid came after a series of events in which Madrid snatched the ball 40 meters from the Leipzig goal.
