Yan Diomande’s early reunion with his old RB Leipzig teammates is the big headline ahead of Real Madrid’s third Champions League match this season.
The 19-year-old got the Bernabéu to believe the hype on Sunday with his first real standout performance since his record-breaking arrival this summer, grabbing a stunning goal and assist in the 4–1 win over Sevilla.
Expectations have gone up a notch for Diomande, who now prepares to face the club where he made his name last season. He could be joined in attack by Vinícius Júnior—another of the major talking points lately, with the Brazilian available to feature in the Champions League despite a four-game domestic ban.
Madrid can make it three European wins in a row with a victory over Leipzig, but fans may hope for less of an edge-of-your-seat affair than the—admittedly thrilling—4–3 against Roma last time out.
A goal-heavy night could well be on the cards again one way or another; Leipzig shipped four away to Como in their Champions League opener and were thrashed by Bayern Munich at the weekend. They have also won by three or more goals on three occasions already in 2026–27.
