He real Madrid is in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Of course, he did it between the whistles of his fans and asking the time in front of a Leipzigg that he played better than Real Madrid and deserved something more, but his frustrations against Lunin’s goal condemned him to farewell the Champions League with a draw at the Bernabéu. The Whites are counting on Brahim’s goal in the first leg to advance to the next round, but now, being favorites for the Champions League is better left for later.
He real Madrid He arrived on the pitch in a closed Bernabéu with the tie in his favor against a Leipzig who lacked confidence in Ancelotti at all. A lack of confidence that caused the Italian to move people and his plan to put Valverde on the right wing. The reason, to strengthen the center of the field to, in theory, protect their backs by combining Kroos, Tchouaméni, Camanvinga and Valverde himself. Ancelotti focused so much on strengthening the core that he forgot about the attack. Up top, Vinicius and Bellingham were Real Madrid’s only argument against a Leipzig team that came out pressing, shrinking the field and preventing the white ball from coming out.
That’s where the middle of the field should appear. real Madrid to dominate the ball and thereby overcome the German defensive lines. But no. In Ancelotti’s team, nobody moved between the lines, except for Bellingham, and this made their game slow, predictable. Leipzig was not the eighth wonder of the world, but somehow it gave more desire, more attitude. In fact, Sesko had a great chance in the 10th minute, but he ran over Lunin. However, it was all for naught as the assistant, in this manner of not whistling to prevent VAR correcting him, pointed out Sesko’s offside when Lunin stopped the Leipzig player’s shot.

The GermansThey gave more scares, some serious, to a Real Madrid still thinking that the first leg ended 0-6 or something like that. He didn’t play anything and ended up exploding the Bernabéu stands, giving their players a great fight in the final stages and to send them off at the break. They did it in a concert of air in the stands, with little football on the grass and only one shot between three sticks between the two teams, and Leipzig who, at least, put more effort into search for purpose. . So, what happened was normal, 0-0 at half time in the first half to forget at the Bernabéu.
Ancelotti, Since this could not happen, he decided to amend the plan and after the break, he removed Camavinga to delay Valverde and bring Rodrygo to play on the right. So, the Italian is looking to revive his team, but the bottom line is that it was Leipzig that came out better in the second half to the point where the goal was around. While all this was happening, Vinicius decided to appear, but not to leave his protector, but to enter into his own personal wars with his rivals. Red card played in the 54th minute for a push Orban no ball in the middle and unthinkable. It ended with a yellow card but it was a clear example of what the Brazilian and all of Madrid do: anything but playing football. Although Madrid is Madrid and nowhere does the chance to score come out of the hat. So, he was on the verge of scoring on several occasions. In the third, came the goal. Counterattack led by Bellingham which saw great movement by Vinicius to put the ball in place. The Brazilian did not disappoint and scored 1-0 in the 65th minute. Real Madrid fans would enjoy little of that advantage as in the 68th minute, Orban scored to make it 1-1 which caused chaos in the merengue stands for what Ancelotti’s men were up to. doing.in the grass.
The whistles blew again at the Bernabéu for Ancelotti’s men, far from reacting to the German tie, were at the mercy of an old man. LeipzigMr. The final minutes were calm in Chamartín. Although Madrid seemed to have recovered, Leipzig continued to search for a goal which would lead to extra time. Olmo got it in extra time, but his shot hit the crossbar. The final whistle was a relief for Real Madrid, who were in the quarterfinals, but amid whistles from the fans and call time against Leipzig.
