Real battled back from 3-1 down against in-form Roma last Wednesday, scoring three goals in the final ten minutes to claim an unlikely 4-3 win at the Stadio Olimpico against Mourinho’s club. Los Blancos followed up that memorable win with a clinical 4-1 dispatch of Sevilla at home in La Liga on Sunday, with Kylian Mbappé bagging a brace.
Leipzig, meanwhile, comes into this match with new boss Martín Demichelis already feeling the heat following a shaky start to the Bundesliga season. It’s been compounded by an abject showing in Saturday’s humiliating 6-1 defeat to Bayern Munich. Die Roten Bullen kicked off their UCL campaign in equally disastrous style with a 4-1 defeat away against tournament newcomers Como, before bouncing back with a narrow 1-0 win at home against PSV.
Antonio Rüdiger’s last-minute, close-range strike sealed a remarkable comeback win for Real Madrid away against Roma last week in the Champions League.
Real Madrid takes on RB Leipzig on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at the Estadio Bernabéu in Madrid, with kickoff set for 9 p.m. CEST local time in Spain. That makes it an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK and a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada. For soccer fans Down Under, it’s a 6 a.m. AEDT start in Australia on Thursday morning.
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the UCL action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
Virtual private networks encrypt your traffic and prevent your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies that restrict VPN use for accessing region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions to ensure you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
