With many absent, Real Madrid conceded their first defeat of the season in Germany (3-2).
A fall for the Real Madrid. Without Karim Benzema, but also without Luka Modric and Federico Valverde, the Merengues conceded their first defeat of the season, in Leipzig (3-2), during the 5th day of the Champions League.
RBL found the net thanks to Josko Gvardiol (13th), Christopher Nkunku (18th) and Timo Werner (81st), while Real closed the gap twice, through Vinicius Jr (44th) and Rodrygo ( 90th+4), in vain.
With the draw between Celtic Glasgow and Shakhtar Donetsk (1-1), Leipzig is not yet qualified. The Germans need to secure a draw in a week at Shakhtar. Real, for its part, was already qualified before this meeting and keeps the head of the group. Success against Celtic next Wednesday will allow Carlo Ancelotti’s men to secure first place.
