I'd say it's a good result for Madrid. A draw would have seen Madrid qualify for the quarter-finals. Therefore, Real Madrid did not need to win by a large margin in this match. I even think that the Madrid players played for a draw in this match.
From how they played, it looks like they played for a draw but it is a risky strategy because we saw that Leipzig nearly came to a second goal and only luckiness can help Real Madrid to avoid a second conceded goal. If Leipzig score that goal, the match will go with 30 more minutes for 2 extra halfs and maybe penalty shootouts.
I agree with you that this was a very risky strategy. But Madrid is a very experienced team. Ancelotti in particular is a very experienced coach. And he knows the opponent's weakness very well. In this match, Leipzig played attacking strategy from the beginning of the match. They were defeated in the first leg match. So Leipzig needed to win this match by a margin of 2-0. And since Leipzig played attacking strategy, Ancelotti was tactical in this match. He kept Madrid's defense tight. And the Madrid players tried to score from the counter attack. Although Madrid kept their defense tight, they produced several excellent counter attacks. And until the end, Madrid managed to draw 1-1.
Madrid did not attack much in this match. In the first leg match against Leipzig, Madrid played completely attacking. But in today's match, Madrid's main goal was to keep their defense strong. Leipzig played a completely attacking strategy today, while Madrid kept their defense tight and counter-attacked. We didn't see any goals in the first half because of Madrid's defensive play. If Madrid played attacking strategy, maybe we would have seen many goals in this match. Because Leipzig's players tried a lot to score. But Leipzig's players could not find any weakness in Madrid's defense.
I saw it too and Leipzig shown their strength against the most successful club in Champions League history. The opponent are still one of best candidates for Champions League title this season but Leipzig were not fearful, they simply played and enjoyed their own football style.
This match ended as a draw but Leipzig actually took advantage of this match to show off some of their good young players and they potentially will have some profitable transfers in the summer market.
The way Leipzig's players performed in Real Madrid's home match is absolutely commendable. Leipzig's players really played well in this match, and I would say that Leipzig's players performed better than Madrid's.
However, Real Madrid qualified for the quarter-finals. Performance in Madrid is still very stable. Madrid players are in a good rhythm. Real Madrid will not face any obstacles in winning the La Liga title. Now Ancelotti will try his best for the Champions League title.
