It may not have been the most composed of victories for ‘Los Blancos’, when the Spanish side scored three times in the space of eight minutes in the Italian capital to win a thrilling 4-3 match against Roma, keeping their 100% victory rate intact heading into this fixture.

RB Leipzig on the other hand have had a mixture of results with both a win and defeat from their first two European games of this campaign, and will be hoping to continue this winning form following the 1-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven last Tuesday night.

Team news

Real Madrid

Real Madrid will be more than relieved to understand that their Brazilian star boy in Vinícius Júnior will be in the matchday squad, with manager José Mourinho confirming this in a recent press conference, with the winger being shown the red card after an altercation during the 1-0 victory over Villarreal over a week ago.

Ferland Mendy is due to rejoin the matchday squad shortly, as the Frenchman is now back in training after his ligament injury he picked up back in May.

The likes of Rodrygo and Raúl Asencio will have to wait until the new year to feature again for Los Blancos, with their respective injuries keeping them sidelined for a while longer.

RB Leipzig

The visitors meanwhile only have three absentees heading into this tie in the Spanish capital, with Marc Guiu still weeks away from a return for the German side with a muscle injury keeping the 20-year-old forward out of action.

Meanwhile, Austrian midfielder Christoph Baumgartner will just miss out on this game, despite being almost back from a thigh injury that the twenty-seven-year-old picked up in June.

Key Players

Kylian Mbappé

It may come as no surprise that one of Real Madrid's main stars for tomorrow is World Cup winner in Kylian Mbappé, given his phenomenal goal scoring threat and record in this competition.

The French forward has made the perfect start during this season's Champions League campaign, with a goal to claim in both fixtures that the 27-year-old has participated in, and always remains a threat against any side.

Something else that may encourage Kylian Mbappé for tomorrow's clash is RB Leipzig's leaky defence away from home in this competition, with 4 goals shipped on their travels at the hands of Como FC in the opening fixture of this tournament.

The German side were also on the end of a heavy defeat to current Bundesliga champions in Bayern Munich at the weekend too in a 6-1 thrashing, and you can only imagine how dangerous Kylian Mbappé could be against a shaky back line such as this.

Antonio Nusa

One of Europe's new exciting wingers will also be on show tomorrow, as Antonio Nusa will have the perfect stage at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium to showcase his clear talent.

The young Norwegian definitely impressed many at this summer's World Cup, and the clear potential for the 21-year-old has carried throughout this domestic season, with 6 goal contributions in as many games for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.

It is expected that Antonio Nusa will be playing towards the right hand side of the Spanish defence, where Trent Alexander-Arnold may have a tough evening against the Norwegian, given his electrifying pace combined with tricky footwork.
