Real Madrid into Champions League quarterfinals after draw vs Leipzig.
Description
Leipzig had several chances to pull off the upset after a lackluster performance by Madrid, the record 14-time European champion. Dani Olmo’s attempt hit the crossbar in stoppage time.
“It was a bad match, we didn’t play well,” Ancelotti said. “They have quality and played with nothing to lose, while we had the brakes on. We suffered in the end but what mattered was to reach the quarterfinals and we did it.”
Leipzig ended with 21 total attempts against 12 by Madrid. The German side also had more attempts on target — four against three by the hosts.
