Real Madrid overcame Leipzig 1-0 in the first round of the Champions League round of 16, gaining an important advantage ahead of the return leg at the Bernabeu on March 6. After a difficult first half, the match è was unblocked by a Brahim Diaz spell at 49'.

Ancelotti thus won the first round, leaving Rose with the task of accomplishing the feat in the next challenge at home to Real Madrid.

Manchester City, on the other hand, beat Copenhagen with a convincing 3-1 away win. Guardiola’s team took the lead thanks to De Bruyne’s perfect diagonal pass at 11' but è was caught up at 34' by Mattsson’s great strike. Just before halftime, Bernardo Silva’s lob put the Citizens back ahead, who sealed the triad at 92' with Foden.
