Real Madrid closed Matchday 3 of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League with a 4-1 win over RB Leipzig on 21 October. The result kept Madrid among the teams with a perfect record after three league-phase games.
Madrid turn the result into a statement
The four-goal margin made this one of the headline results of Wednesday’s European schedule. Leipzig found a goal, but Madrid’s attack answered with four, giving the Spanish side another valuable boost in goal difference and confidence. The win also matters in the expanded league phase, where every point and goal can affect the final ranking.
What the 4-1 means
Madrid now have nine points from three matches and remain in the leading group. The league phase continues in November, so this is an important checkpoint rather than a qualification guarantee. Fans can follow the official UEFA fixture and standings pages for the next match and live table.
