Before the second leg of the round of 16 in Madrid
Marco Rose is relying on RB Leipzig’s offensive strength in the second leg of the round of 16 against Real Madrid. “We will have to seek salvation in attacking. We also have to set the pace of the game. We will have to push ourselves to the limit in all areas,” said the head coach before the Champions League game on Wednesday (9 p.m./DAZN) and emphasized: “We shouldn’t just hope so, we should also believe in it. We have to believe that we can deliver an exceptionally strong performance on the pitch, but we also need luck.” His team has to make up a 0-1 deficit against the Spanish record champions.

Dani Olmo had “a sweet and sour feeling” after stealing a goal in the first leg and missing chances, the Spaniard reported. Now he is highly motivated: “It is a special scenario, the second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League here at the Santiago Bernabéu. Of course I hope that we win.” In the three previous duels with the Royals, the Red Bulls left the pitch as losers twice and won once. Olmo “didn’t want to reveal anything” about the match plan. We expect a very vertical, attacking Madrid. Our game has to be perfect to progress. We hope we are efficient.”
The 25-year-old, who was trained at FC Barcelona’s La Masia youth academy, wants to provide special impetus. “It is the first time that I have the opportunity to be here in my home country and to be here at the Bernabéu. I feel very good and am very motivated.”
Real Madrid coach Ancelotti warns against arrogance
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, meanwhile, warned against arrogance. You know that the Saxons are dangerous and can, among other things, switch quickly and well from defense to attack. “We have to put our best foot forward. The matter has not yet been decided,” emphasized the 64-year-old: “We have evaluated the first leg, the good things and where we can improve. I think we are ready and we will improve. They are a very dangerous team when it comes to shifting. The game has to be complete to progress.”
Despite all his caution, the Royal coach also praised his protégés. Real have had a very good season so far. “And we want to continue that. There’s not much left (until the end of the season), two and a half or three months. Only then will we be able to finally take stock. So far I can’t complain about anything.”
