As expected, Real Madrid reached the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League, after meeting RB Leipzig. However, it was far from convincing for the 14-time winners as they drew 1-1 on the night at the Santiago Bernabeu, securing a 2-1 win on aggregate.
Blancos were terrible in the first 45 minutes. Leipzig dominated the proceedings, and they had many chances to score. However, a combination of Andriy Lunin and poor finishing meant it remained goalless until half-time.
They were made to pay for their misfortune, as Real Madrid found the lead in 65 minutes. An incisive counter-attack ended with Jude Bellingham playing in Vinicius Junior, who made no mistake to open the scoring.
However, the leader lasted only three minutes, as it were Willi Orban hit home a great equalizer for Leipzig from a David Raum cross. That made it 2-1 overall, which created more nerves for the home side.
In the end, it didn't matter much, like Real Madrid they were able to see things outside. They will find out their quarter-final opponents next week, once the rest of the last 16 Champions League games are concluded.
