Real Madrid v RB Leipzig: Confirmed Line-Ups as Los Blancos Look to Carry Momentum Into Clasico
Madrid seek a third straight Champions League win as Vinícius Jr returns from suspension and Kylian Mbappé nears 100 goals for the club.
- Real Madrid host RB Leipzig at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, seeking a third consecutive victory in matchday three of the UEFA Champions League.
- Jose Mourinho's team enters the match following three consecutive wins, including a 4-1 victory over Sevilla last weekend, though critics remain divided on whether these are unconvincing or hallmark of champions.
- Kylian Mbappe leads the attack, sitting just a hat-trick away from 100 Real Madrid goals, while Vinicius returns to the squad and Yan Diomande faces the club he left in an August deal worth up to £140million.
- With Sunday's Clasico approaching, Mourinho may rotate his lineup to rest Trent Alexander-Arnold and other key players, with Endrick and Carlos Esp available to provide fresh legs if Madrid secure an early lead.
- Real Madrid maintains dominance against German opposition, having lost only one of their last 13 group stage matches and scoring in each of their previous 26 home matches against Bundesliga visitors.
