Domenico Tedesco lost his job as a result of Leipzig’s defeat by Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening group game. Last Thursday, Marco Rose took his place, and he made an immediate impact by helping Die Roten Bullen defeat Borussia Dortmund at home 3-0. He teamed Werner with Christopher Nkunku, the 2021–2022 Bundesliga Player of the Season, but Willi Orban, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Amadou Haidara all scored goals. Rose decided to go with a back four but may want to switch to a more comfortable three, with Orban being flanked by summer signing Abdou Diallo and Mohamed Simakan, who scored the lone goal against Shakhtar. In the absence of Dani Olmo, one of Szoboszlai or Emil Forsberg will probably fill the playmaker position, while Andre Silva offers a traditional centre-forward alternative up front. Due to Konrad Laimer’s ankle issue, Xaver Schlager and Kevin Kampl will probably play as the central midfield pivot.

Last week, the 14-time European champions defeated Celtic 3-0 to start their Champions League title defense. All three goals were scored in the final 21 minutes of play. The defending champions of Spain have won all seven of their games so far this campaign, including a 4-1 victory over Mallorca on Sunday, but they were forced to do it without captain and star Benzema because he was taken off in Glasgow with a muscular strain. Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rüdiger, and David Alaba are three of the regular back four who have played in the Bundesliga, and acting captain Toni Kroos has had experience at Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. With Die Roten Bullen in town, Los Blancos and manager Carlo Ancelotti—a title-winning coach at Bayern—will need to be alert if they want to avoid going four years in a row without winning their first home match in the Champions League group stage.

Match Stats

Werner, who won the competition the year before with Chelsea, scored against Real in the Champions League quarterfinal last year.

In Leipzig’s three away matches in the Champions League last season, Nkunku scored five goals and provided one assist. Over the course of the entire campaign, only Benzema, Sebastien Haller, and Mohamed Salah (each with eight), contributed to more goals that were scored away from home.

In September 2018, Silva scored twice as Sevilla defeated Real by a score of 3-0.

The previous time Los Blancos met a German opponent for the first time, Wolfsburg defeated them 2-0.

Leipzig has a perfect record against Spanish clubs, having advanced past Real Sociedad in the Europa League last season and defeated Atletico Madrid by a score of 2-1 in the 2019–20 single-leg quarterfinal (W1, D1).

Madrid has won just nine of their previous 18 home games in Europe (D3, L6).

Analytics:

The current European Cup champions Los Blancos began their Group F campaign last week with a 3-0 victory against Celtic, while Leipzig’s campaign got off to an unexpected 4-1 home loss to Shakhtar Donetsk.
