“Real Madrid carrying La Liga on its back” – Twitter reacts as Los Blancos emerges as only Spanish club to win in Champions League fixture this match week

A late double from Federico Valverde and Marco Asensio earned Real Madrid an unconvincing 2-0 win over RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

The defending champions were without the injured Karim Benzema up front, and Los Blancos clearly missed their talisman as they struggled to generate any momentum against a Leipzig side who were lively on the counter attack but wasteful when it mattered the most.

Football fans were quick to point out that Los Blancos were the only Spanish team to win this matchweek in Champions League after losses to Barcelona and Atletico while draw to Sevilla. Here are Twitter feeds for u to enjoy:

The Bundesliga upstarts enjoyed the best openings of a rather timid 45 minutes, as Christopher Nkunku and Emil Forsberg both went close. But with the game heading towards a share of the spoils, Real finally clicked into gear and took the lead with just over ten minutes to go.

Vinicius jinked inside neatly before picking out Valverde with a crisp, low pass across the penalty area, and the Uruguayan composed himself before firing an unstoppable effort past the despairing dive of Peter Gulacsi.

The points were then sealed in injury time as Toni Kroos’ fizzed low corner was wonderfully turned home by Asensio – the Spaniard gliding a first-time effort in off the far post with his instep.
