Real Madrid secure a 1-0 victory away to RB Leipzig in the Champions League round-of-16 first leg at the Red Bull Arena.
The hosts thought they’d opened the scoring after a few minutes as Sesko headed home from inside the box, but the assistant referee had his flag up for offside.
Neither team could fashion too many chances in the first half and it was a cautious affair in Germany.
After the break, a moment of brilliance from Diaz fired the Spanish outfit in front. The 24-year-old received the ball on the touchline and glided past multiple Leipzig defenders, before finding the top corner with a curling strike from outside of the box.
Ancelotti’s men held on to secure an all-important 1-0 lead heading into the second leg at the Bernabeu.
The two sides will go head-to-head once again on 6th March as they look to cement their place in the next round of the competition.
