Real Madrid Thrash RB Leipzig 4-1 in Champions League

Real Madrid maintained their winning start in the Champions League with another victory over RB Leipzig with 4-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu. After a competitive opening period, the Spanish side took control after the break, combining clinical finishing with several important saves from Thibaut Courtois.

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring shortly before half-time and in the 52nd minute Madrid doubled their advantage when the Turkish player finished from close distance after Jude Bellingham’s cross and Mbappé’s headed assist.

In the 83rd minute Mbappé made it 3-0, after finishing superbly after being set up by the substitute Yan Diomande. Leipzig briefly reduced the deficit through Gomis, who was played through by Christoph Baumgartner, but Madrid responded almost immediately after the goal. Diomande was clinical and fired the ball into the top corner following a cross from Brahim Diaz, to complete the scoring at 4-1.

Courtois also played a key role in the victory, with making crucial stops to deny Leipzig's attacking players. The result underlined Madrid’s attacking depth and kept their perfect run in the Champions League league phase intact.
