Second victory for Real Madrid.

Second day of the Champions League and second victory for Real Madrid.

A goal from Fede Valverde and another from Marcos Asensio sentenced RB Leipzig.

The Whites take a big step forward in the group thanks to the draw between Shakhtar and Celtic, which makes them the sole leader.

A somewhat cold game in the first half at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Ancelotti's men began dominating the ball, but not the situation, since RB Leipzig was much more accurate when it came to reaching Courtois's goal.

Nkunku and Werner were a toothache for the Real Madrid defense.

The German striker moved like a fish in water between the lines to launch the Frenchman.

The Frenchman had the two best chances for his team, which also featured a good attempt by Forsberg with a high shot from the edge of the box.

Real Madrid grew after 35 minutes and managed to intimidate Gulacsi's goal.

Rüdiger headed after Vinicius and Modric's center from outside the area, the most notable arrivals.

The Croatian asked for a penalty for a knockdown inside the area after being charged in a cross, but the referee did not award the maximum penalty.

Real Madrid came out with a different attitude in the second half.

RB Leipzig lost the momentum of the first half and locked themselves in their own field trying not to lose the 0-0, which was already a good result.

However, it was a matter of time before the can could be opened and the Whites managed to find their way to the goal towards Gulacsi's goal.

Of course, the occasions were slow in coming.

Fede Valverde and Marco Asensio had, on the same play, the two clearest chances in the second half.

And they would be the ones who would ultimately end up giving victory to Real Madrid.

The Uruguayan opened the can thanks to an accurate shot from the top of the area.

Vinicius started the play on the left wing, Rodrygo let it pass and the Uruguayan, arriving on the second line, cut it and sent it to save with his left foot.

Already in the final minutes, a free kick by Toni Kroos in a rehearsed play went to the boots of Marco Asensio who put it almost in the top corner with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box.
