RB Leipzig 0 - 1 Real Madrid
The 2022 winners gained the upper hand in their Champions League last-16 clash with RB Leipzig thanks to a splendid goal from Brahim Diaz.
Diaz executed a magnificent strike into the top corner early in the second half, giving Real the victory in Germany.
The talented Spanish midfielder stepped up in place of Jude Bellingham, who was sidelined due to injury.
His goal positions Real favourably to advance to the quarter-finals for the 12th time in the last 14 seasons.
