For a Leipzig player with a Barca background, the game in Madrid is extra motivation. But the evening has to be perfect to progress.

For Leipzig's Dani Olmo, the appearance in Madrid will be a special evening. "It's a special scenario, the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 here at the Santiago Bernabéu," said the Spain international, who had never played in this stadium before. "This is the first time I've had the opportunity to do something very special in my home country. I'm very motivated. I want to show what I can do here in Spain," said Olmo ahead of this Wednesday's Premier League clash with Real (21:00/DAZN), stressing: "Of course I hope we win."

Key factor:

"It will be down to the small details, we have to cut out those ball losses in midfield. We know that we can also attack and cause damage to our opponents," said Olmo. All options are open for Leipzig. I hope that we can realize them. We're not afraid of anyone," said Olmo ahead of the clash with Real stars Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham. "We have to concentrate on our game and go into the game with our weapons. We have to play between the lines, that's where I feel most comfortable."

Mate Xavi:

It's a special constellation for RB's two key players. Both were trained at an early age in FC Barcelona's La Masia youth academy. "Xavi and I are also friends off the pitch. I get on really well with him, we harmonize perfectly," said Olmo, who has never made a secret of his desire to return to Spain at some point. He still has a contract with Leipzig until the summer of 2027 - albeit with an exit clause. According to reports, it is 60 million euros.
