Dani Olmo, Spanish international from Leipzig, will play his fifth match against a team from his country in the Champions League, facing off against real Madrid in the round of 16, with a record so far that makes them a talisman, with three wins and one draw in four duels.
Olmo already knows what it’s like to beat Real Madrid in their only Champions League match. He did it last year, 3-2 on the fifth day of the group stage. He will find himself wanting to shine in an important match, to show his virtues to earn a return to the Spanish team for the Euro Cup, after missing the final lists of Luis de la Fuente due to a collarbone injury in November that required surgery.
In Leipzig he was victorious from a round of 16 duel against a Spanish rival, the Real society in the 2021-22 season. The draw with Germany (2-2) preceded the conquest of the Reale Arena in San Sebastián (1-3).
The only goal Olmo scored against a Spanish team in the Champions League came in their first match, against Atlético de Madrid in August 2020 (2-1). In an edition changed by the pandemic, he scored the first goal of the quarterfinals of the German victory to reach the semifinals, Leipzig’s highest ever in the competition.
