Real Madrid and RB Leipzig square off in the first leg of a Champions League Round of 16 game. The Spanish side entered with a lot of players injured. However, the German team is looking to get a good result in front of their home fans. Currently, the betting market favors the Bundesliga team to play a tight game. Although, the La Liga squad remains a favorite. Anything can happen against teams who are unfamiliar with each other. The last time they played each other was in the Champions League in 2022. The Germans scored one win out of the two matches then. But if they can pull it off again, it would be quite something.
Who is available and most likely to produce a good fantasy result for your lineup today?

Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig Obvious Starts
Vinicius Junior– M/F ($9,400 DK)
The Brazilian shines in big moments. Although they are away from the Bernabeu, he can be counted on. In his last three games away from home Vinicius has contributed directly toward two goals. While Leipzig is a good team, he will get chances and is likely to convert.
Rodrygo– M/F ($8,700 DK)
Rodrygo scores 15.9 FPPG. Even if Vinicius takes a lot of the chances, he’ll also take a lot of the attention from the defense. Therefore, he will also get his opportunities today. Also, don’t be surprised if the two link up to create for each other.
Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig Start ‘Em
Lois Openda-F ($7,700 DK)
Openda is a Belgian machine up top. So far he has scored 15 goals and added 4 assists in only 21 appearances for Leipzig. However, chances may be fewer than what he is used to against Real Madrid. But still, he should see plenty of quality looks today on his home pitch.
Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig Sit ‘Em
Jude Bellingham– M ($9,200 DK)
One of England’s best prospects will not be available today. Unfortunately, Bellingham suffered a high ankle injury and will be out for weeks. This allows others greater opportunities today. Most notably, this opens up things in the midfield for the lock of the day.
Real Madrid vs RB Leipzip Lock of the Day
Xavi Simons– M ($6,900 DK)
Siminos averages 14.9 FPPG, but without having to worry about Bellingham, his chances of finding space in the midfield increase. Additionally, he may face the likes of a slower Luka Modric. Regardless, he is going to be the engine in the center of the park today. He may lose to Real Madrid, but fantasy-wise, you need to include him!
