- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.

Injuries and Suspensions
Form
Real Madrid head into this fixture with four wins from their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing was a commanding 4-1 LaLiga victory over Sevilla, and they also produced a 4-3 win away at Roma in the Champions League. Across those five games, Madrid have scored 11 goals, with their only defeat coming in a 2-1 LaLiga loss to Atlético Madrid. RB Leipzig's last five matches tell a more inconsistent story, with three wins and two defeats. The most recent result was a 6-1 Bundesliga loss to Bayern Munich, though Leipzig did record a 1-0 Champions League win over PSV Eindhoven and posted convincing Bundesliga victories over Eintracht Frankfurt (6-0) and Hamburger SV (5-0). Leipzig have scored 13 goals across those five matches but conceded eight, suggesting an open and attack-minded side that can be exposed at the back.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these two sides came in March 2024, when Real Madrid and RB Leipzig drew 1-1 in the Champions League. Madrid won the reverse fixture in February 2024, claiming a 1-0 victory in Leipzig. Across the last four head-to-head matches in the Champions League, Madrid hold a slight edge, with two wins to Leipzig's one and one draw, though Leipzig did claim a 3-2 victory at home in October 2022.

That gap underlines the contrasting trajectories of the two sides in this season's competition, with Madrid well-placed for automatic progression and Leipzig facing a more pressing need to collect points.
