Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Estadio Santiago Bernabeu will turn into a battlefield for Real Madrid CF and RB Leipzig.
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Poor challenge from Xaver Schlager. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 25' A quiet spell here at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. RB Leipzig seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.

- 35' Eduardo Camavinga has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
