Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig prediction

Real Madrid rode their luck in the first leg and that will be on their minds despite Leipzig’s inconsistent form otherwise in 2024.

Carlo Ancelotti also has his squad in far better shape than three weeks ago, so this should be a fairly routine win on aggregate.

Real Madrid in to win, 3-0 agg.
