The 2023-24 Champions League Group G certainly followed the pre-tournament script, as Man City sailed into the sunset with an unblemished record of 18 points from six games, while RB Leipzig, as expected, fended off Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade to finish second.
Die Roten Bullen were unable to end Man City’s winning streak in Europe’s top competition, losing 3-1 at home and 3-2 at the Etihad to the current champions, but their other four Group G fixtures ended in victories, albeit not entirely convincing ones.

While Leipzig has also finished at the right end of the field in their last ten Champions League home games, such defensive flaws make for unappealing reading ahead of the visit of Real Madrid, who easily defeated their closest rivals for the La Liga title on Saturday.
Headline-makers Girona arrived in the capital trailing Carlo Ancelotti’s side by just two points, but thanks to an unprecedented Jude Bellingham brace sandwiched between efforts from Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, Los Blancos’ lead at the top of the table is now unassailable.

Due to the untimely absence of the red-hot Bellingham, it would take a brave soul to predict the outcome of Tuesday’s first leg, but Los Blancos have still produced attacking goods during his infrequent absences this season. Leipzig’s tendency to concede goals at home in the Champions League, combined with their poor form since returning from the winter break, makes it difficult to see the Germans repeating last season’s Red Bull Arena victory over Los Blancos, who have our vote to take a slim lead back to Madrid for the second leg.
RB Leipzig 1-3 Real Madrid, predicted by us.
