Real Madrid sealed a crucial 1-0 victory against RB Leipzig in their Champions League clash, with goalkeeper Andriy Lunin playing a vital role in the win.
The match was not without controversy, as RB Leipzig had a goal disallowed early in the game due to an offside decision against Benjamin Henrichs, who was deemed to have obstructed Lunin.
Despite a lackluster first-half performance from Real Madrid, Lunin’s show kept them in the game.
The Ukrainian goalkeeper made several important saves to deny the hosts any breakthrough.
Real Madrid capitalized on their defensive strength in the second half, with Brahim Diaz scoring the decisive goal.
Diaz’s strike from outside the box proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The victory puts Real Madrid in a favorable position to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, with the Spanish side carrying a 1-0 lead into the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
