Real Madrid defeated RB Leipzig 4-1 to record a third consecutive Champions League victory.

Real Madrid defeated RB Leipzig 4-1 on Wednesday to claim their third Champions League victory in as many games. Bernardo Silva opened the scoring late in the first half after a goalmouth scramble, before Arda Guler doubled the lead shortly after half-time. Kylian Mbappe then bent in a third goal, with Tidiam Gomis scoring a consolation for Leipzig. Yan Diomande added a fourth with a late volley to complete Madrid's dominance.

Bernardo Silva's goal was his first for Real Madrid since joining from Manchester City in the summer. The victory extends Madrid's unbeaten run to four consecutive wins across all competitions and keeps them on course in Europe, unlike Barcelona, who lost to Paris Saint-Germain this week. Madrid face Barcelona in La Liga on Sunday.
