Real Madrid lost their unbeaten record in their visit to Leipzig, where they were defeated 3-2 in the fifth matchday of the Champions League. They entered the game with qualification for the round of 16 guaranteed, but they were trailing for the first twenty minutes due to a lack of intensity that cost them two goals.
After fourteen victories and two draws in their season, Carlo Ancelotti's team suffered their first defeat of the campaign at Leipzig. The goals from Joško Gvardiol in the 13th minute and Christopher Nkunku in the 18th rewarded the superiority of the German team against a Real Madrid with rotations and without the intensity demanded by the Champions League.
Brazilian Vinícius Junior brought his team back into the game with a header a minute before halftime, and he had the chance to equalize, again assisted by Marco Asensio, eleven minutes from the end but missed with everything in his favor.
The sentence came on the counterattack with Timo Werner's goal and the added-time penalty goal from Rodrygo for the definitive 3-2, which leaves his team one point away from the top spot before the final matchday, in which Real Madrid will host Celtic at the Santiago Bernabéu.
