Real Madrid defeated RB Leipzig 4-1 on Wednesday to maintain a perfect record in the Champions League with three wins from three matches. Bernardo Silva broke the deadlock late in the first half, followed by Arda Guler's second-half strike that doubled Madrid's lead. Kylian Mbappe added a third before Leipzig pulled one back through Tidiam Gomis, with Yan Diomande sealing the rout with a late volley.
The victory marks Madrid's fourth consecutive win across all competitions and provides momentum ahead of Sunday's Clasico clash against Barcelona. The host side's flawless European campaign contrasts sharply with Barcelona's loss at Paris Saint-Germain, giving Madrid a psychological edge despite their inconsistent domestic form.
Manager Jose Mourinho deployed Vinicius on the left flank despite the winger's four-match La Liga suspension, while introducing Bernardo Silva and Eduardo Camavinga to midfield. The tactical setup proved effective as Madrid controlled proceedings, with Thibaut Courtois making key saves to preserve the advantage.
