A brilliant goal by Brahim Diaz hands Real Madrid the advantage following the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with RB Leipzig.
Benjamin Sesko appeared to have headed RB Leipzig ahead after two minutes, but the goal was disallowed
The Spaniards could not add to their score however, coming closest when Vinicius Jr struck the outside of the post having been set through by the impressive Diaz. Diaz further replicated Bellingham with his celebration, copying his team-mate in standing with arms wide after scoring. It earned the approval of the England international too, who posted "oh my god Brahim!" on X in response.
Lunin was forced into action late on too, making a series of solid stops from Xavi Simons, Sesko and Amadou Haidara as the hosts pressed for an equaliser.
