I predicted an easy win for Real Madrid against the Red Bull team in the 2nd leg in Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid are the top team in La Liga while Leipzig is struggling in Bundesliga but the game between them were completely different from what I expected. It's not a 1-1 draw because of a lucky or counter offensive goal, Leipzig was playing better than Real Madrid in most of it. Real Madrid did win the knockout due to lead in Red Bull Arena. They were thought to favourite team for the Champions league title but now they seem to be defeatable.
On another knockout Manchester City defeated the Copenhagen as expected.
It was a big surprised that Real Madrid draw their second leg at home. After Real Madrid has a narrow win in their first meeting, i did not expect Real Madrid to draw at home. Because Real Madrid is playing at home and they are still doing better than their opponent, while Leipzig struggled to win their league games. I also picked Real Madrid to win. Since many bettors picked Real Madrid as the favorite to win the game, they will be very disappointed with the outcome of the game. Leipzig beat Real Madrid in this match and put more pressure on them than we expected. Real Madrid's one goal in the first leg gave them a chance to advance to the next round.
Real Madrid's performance in the round of sixteen was weak; they will need to improve in the next round, because if they face strong opponent like Manchester city in the next round and play like they did against Leipzig, they will eliminate them from the Champions League, we see Real Madrid as the favorite team to win the Champions League this season.
