Real Madrid will look to continue their splendid run of form when they take on RB Leipzig in a Champions League fixture at the Red Bull Arena on Tuesday evening.
Los Blancos have already qualified for the round of 16 with 10 points from four matches and are ahead of second-placed Leipzig by four points in Group F. If Leipzig beat the Spanish outfit in front of their home fans and Shakhtar Donetsk lose to Celtic they will progress to the knockouts. However, if they fall to Madrid, they would need to defeat the Ukrainian side on the final matchday.
Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti's men have had smooth sailing so far and would seal top spot with another win. They are unbeaten in the competition, thanks to Antonio Rudiger's last-gasp equaliser against Shakhtar in their previous outing, and head into this fixture off the back of a comfortable 3-1 victory over Sevilla in La Liga.
