Real Madrid are away to RB Leipzig for a Champions League round of 16 first leg clash.

Speaking ahead of the game, Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti spoke about his team, as a number of key players are out injured.

“The last time Bellingham was unavailable, Brahim played in his position – this seems like a clue. But Leipzig are very strong at set pieces. Brahim is not tall,” Carlo Ancelotti told the media.

“And then I have to evaluate what to do with Carvajal as he was very good at centre-back the last time. What am I going to do? I have to think.”
