And that is that as madrid wrap up the win this was a match that many thought madrid should have had esaily won but a great fight by Leipzig to bring this game like this should appluaded, this is reason why no team in this competition at this stage are not underrated. madrid wasn't convincing today with this win but still in the end they got it done. they still remain my favourite to lift this trophy, follow by manchester city

It almost went to extra time when Olmo hit the woodwork in added time. That's one of the crazy things that happens late in the game and with the other team only leading by one goal. Getting the job done no matter how ugly is what matters at the end of the day but a lot of the Madrid fans probably had a big sigh of relief and thanked the crossbar hehe.

They already won their first leg so even if they draw this game it will still count as victory for them although I understand the reason why they need to win because they definitely need to play safe as football is very surprising sometimes and Leipzig could suprised them and eventually score to take the tie to another level. I don't why but Leipzig even in the first leg seem to be much potent that real Madrid but Madrid are a big team and know very well how to finish the job.

I think Real Madrid forwards aren't good enough in this match. Just look at the stats, Leipzig could make better attacks. Leipzig could make 2 shots, Real Madrid only made 11 shots. It is quite disappointed because Real Madrid is in a better level and they are playing at home today. All fans must expect Real Madrid score some goals today. In fact, Real Madrid is just lucky to score 1 goal.

The match is over. But Leipzig attacks looked better than Real Madrid attacks in this match. I think Real Madrid played with a too defensive tactic today. Ancelotti must avoid to apply the same tactic in the next matches.

Yes, even in the second leg, at first it was still quite worrying, seeing how Bayern Munich could only excel in dribbling the ball but couldn't penetrate Lazio's goal at that time. And even though they tried several times, they always failed to cross Lazio's defensive line. Until in the end, Kane made it different and this was the start of several other very new follow-up goals. Their mentality and motivation after Kane scored a goal became even higher and more powerful. So Lazio really didn't seem to have a chance to attack Bayern Munich at that time. Until victory finally returned to Bayern.

In fact, until extra time, the position was still a draw and not a single player had scored another goal in this second leg. Even though in aggregate Real Madrid is superior, to be honest, their performance and achievements are quite disappointing. Because they just played Leipzig, and they seemed that hard to win. Even though they are playing at home. This is actually very dangerous for Real Madrid.

And in the end, the final result of the match in the second leg of the UCL was a draw
Real Madrid vs Leipzig
1 - 1

The match is almost over and I hope Real Madrid is really able to maintain their aggregate lead even though this match ends in a draw. Leipzig are really good and they never give up and continue to harm Real Madrid's defense so far. They fired 19 shots, 4 of which were on target, of course they were lucky because Real Madrid didn't concede more than 1 goal.

I hope the quarter finals are a lot more exciting than this as we've a lot of the favorites through including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and PSG. Meanwhile, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Dortmund and Inter also look like they will qualify next week.

Thats not a strange thing because after all we must be aware that in the match they are still very favorite even though in terms of aggregate they are very superior but it look like Manchester City do not want to let go of this match just like that because they immediately went all out in attacking in the first half which made Copenhagen hassle with what Manchester City did in this match.
The match is almost over now and the 3-1  is the same as it was in the first meeting and im not too surprised by this.

Although in the 2 meet Copenhagen could score 1 consolation goal but it was not able to make them avoid defeat and they inevitably had to accept the not-sowelcome result in this match in the round of 16. But on the other hand at least they have fought hard from the group phase and losing to Manchester City in the round of 16 seems a little appropriate for them.
 

Manchester City has already advanced directly to the quarterfinals with their 3-1 victory, and considering their performance, I doubt Copenhagen will not be able to improve even in this second half. Copenhagen's play today was quite terrible. Unlike before, they can beat some of the teams they face. To be honest, Manchester City has impressed a lot of people this season with how well they perform.
Manchester City will dominate this match and Copenhagen should just give up and get ready for next season. Now that the second half is ongoing and Manchester City has made it clear that they intend to go far this season, I expect them to score more goals before the end of this match.

Leipzig are ramping up the attacks as the regular time draws near. This is a dangerous game for Real Madrid but they are also defending quite well. I don't think this will go to extra time but we've seen enough of late game turn arounds even in added time.

There is a lot of anticipation for the draw for the next round of the Champions League competition. There are no small teams among those who qualified yesterday by chance, but rather through exceptional performance in the matches. As of today's game, Manchester City has a four-goal aggregate lead, while Real Madrid has a one-goal aggregate lead with less than ten minutes remaining in each of their games. If the two leading teams qualify for the next round without any problems tonight, we will have a very competitive clash in the quarterfinals because it will be a matchup between top teams in Europe from different countries.

It is not over yet because Leipzig has just equalized the goal keeping the goal aggregate at 2:1. They are matching Real Madrid with the same force that they are receiving from them hence, Real Madrid could not out play them. From the match match statistics, Leipzig has made more goal attempts than Real Madrid and if they are able to convert some of those attempts might see the match turn in their favor. I must admit that this is one of the most entertaining match I have watched in a long while, fast football and played professionally. I think until the final whistle, it will not be possible to conclude who is going to join PSG, Manchester City and Bayern Munic that have already qualified.

It is 1:1 and its a close game, only 1 goal from leipzig and it is a draw with the first game added. Now there are only 10 minutes to play and leipzig have to risk everything and thats when the chances come for Real Madrid and I think another goal will happen. So far leipzig have shot on goal more than real madrid, but Vinicius Junior doesnt need many chances to score. Modric has now come into the game for Toni Kross, often all it takes is one brilliant move from him and then the game is won for Real and they go through to the quarter-finals.

Manchester City started the game very quickly and the score was 2-0 in the 10th minute, Copenhagen fell apart. Before the end of the first half, Haaland scored a goal and made it 3. Haaland hardly had a ball at his feet in the first half, but when he got the chance he scored immediately. It shows what a classy player he is. He makes difficult goals look so easy. Now it's clear that they have passed this round. Pep needs to take good players out of the game to avoid injury risk. Nunes is injured, he doesn't want that to happen to players like Haaland or Alvarez.

There is no need to doubt Man City, they will win big and move on to the next round. Because even now, they are still leading 3 - 1. Copenhagen is quite overwhelmed by Man City's attacks. Even though Copenhagen's attacks made things difficult for Man City because they were quite effective, if you look at the second half, Man City didn't give Copenhagen many opportunities to fight back. It was still the 71st minute. However, from here, Man City seemed to be controlling the game better, and it was certain that Man City would advance to the next round.

What is quite worrying is the match between Real Madrid vs Leipzig. How can Real Madrid hope to win this UCL, if against Leipzig, at their home alone, Real Madrid looks very difficult. Even as usual, they only excel in possession of the ball, this is not much. Because Leipzig was surprisingly able to match Real Madrid's game, Leipzig was even able to attack Real Madrid very significantly.

The current score up to the 76th minute is 1 - 1

Luckily, Real Madrid still won on aggregate because of 1 goal in the 1st leg. However, they also have to be careful, lest they lose and draw in the end.

Previously, PSG and Bayern Munich had confirmed themselves through to the quarter-finals, today Manchester City and Real Madrid might both qualify too. So far Manchester City are safe from qualifying because they look comfortable with a large aggregate lead, while Real Madrid still have to stop Leipzig's enthusiasm which didn't drop until the 70th minute.

Leipzig was 1-0 behind from Vinicius' goal, but not long after Willi Orbán scored with a header which made the score 1-1. It is still very possible for Leipzig to force Real Madrid into extra time because they really increased their attacking intensity. So Real Madrid is not completely safe if they don't seal this match with a win.

Basically, we all know that Manchester city is gonna have an easy win over Copenhagen but regardless of the fact that Manchester city is far stronger than Copenhagen, a commend the clubs determination and for reaching this stage of the Champions league is a very huge achievement for the club and Denmark would certainly be proud of them as they were just unfortunate to have met a very tougher club like Manchester city, had it been they met clubs like Lazio, Porto, or Real Sociedad i think they would have surprised a lot of people because where i started giving Credits to Copenhagen was when they drew against Bayern Munich during the group stage matches and made their way to the knockout stage maybe if they can put in more efforts like this in the future, they would really achieve a milestone in the Champions league.


Already, Real Madrid is finding difficult to have an easy win over RB Leipzig because Leipzig is also another stubborn team in the Bundesliga as they don't give up so easily even in their first leg against Real Madrid, they also gave them a tough time before Real Madrid was able to win them by a loan goal. They're already in the second half but i believe that even if Madrid would win in this game, it's not really gonna be easy for them.

Just as I was making this post Real Madrid has scored as Vinicius Junior found the back of the net after being assisted by Jude Bellingham and that's a welcome development and just within some few minutes, Leipzig was able to equalize, this match is becoming so interesting at this point so let's see how the rest of the match turns out to be.

I know that Real Madrid forwards are good enough to convert any chance that come their way which is what they did to get the first goal of the match, but Leipzig were very clinical even after the goal and they were able to level the score just few minutes after Madrid’s goal.
Real Madrid can win this match since they are very good in converting their chances, but if Leipzig put more effort, they can also win the matc.

Real Madrid knows how dangerous the German side is and that's why they choose to play safe, also given their goal aggregate, all they need is just a draw. I know they would surely score a goal to establish their dominance.
Well, the second half is about to begin and I am hoping they actually win so my predictions for the day clicks. Am going for a straight win, no matter the goal margin.

As for Manchester city, they have the win already, unless they somehow slip, but that's highly unlikely because Pep has fielded his best men already and even if he were to make a substitution, he would win still.

I'm amazed by how Leipzig is playing Real Madrid in the first half, Madrid isn't putting up much effort in the match despite leading 1-0 on aggregate. Ancelotti needs to speak with them in the dressing room, since 1-0 is not a goal if the game is not over. because anything can happen and any mistakes madrid do now and Leipzig get the opportunity and score goal in the second half, he will be difficult for Madrid to add another goal because Leipzig are playing well is just that they have not get the chance in the box to score, madrid need to change this information because he will not favour them in this match, they should stop playing defending games, they need to add 1-0 in this match to make them more comfortable that they will qualify to next round. If Madrid continues to play as they did in the first half, Leipzig will have a chance to score, and he may lead Madrid to perform poorly, allowing Leipzig to go to the next round of the competition.

Real Madrid has been a team to watch this season... from their league  matches to champions league have all been an excitement but their match against Leipzig during the first leg was a big shock as we expected a more convincing win margin even if the one goal was ennough for a win... Another  aspect that i think the Real champions league legends are lacking  is scoring.. The need a top scorer for finishes and probably the coming of mbape will add the much needed seasoning to the team

As for the second leg today, we all know real madrid will come out victorious tonight considering their long run of form.. Manchester city too will have a smooth win with no doubt
