Real Madrid reached the Champions League quarter-finals as Vinicius Junior provided the quality finish which RB Leipzig lacked to secure a 2-1 aggregate win in the last 16.
Like the first leg, German side Leipzig were made to pay for wasting a host of chances when Vinicius clipped in Jude Bellingham's pass with 25 minutes left for a 2-0 lead.
Leipzig finally converted an opportunity three minutes later when skipper Willi Orban flicked in a header.
The goal provided renewed belief to the Bundesliga side and they continued to open up the Spanish La Liga leaders as they searched for a leveller.
Former Barcelona youngster Dani Olmo came the closest to taking the tie into extra time - because away goals no longer count in Uefa competitions - when his looping header clipped the top of the crossbar in injury time.
But Real, aiming to become European champions for a record-extending 15th time, managed to hold out and reach the quarter-finals for the 12th time in the past 14 seasons.
Carlo Ancelotti's side will find out their quarter-finals opponents when the draw for the last eight is made on Friday, 15 March.

Madrid qualify, but I am disappointed with Ancelotti. Madrid is not experiment club, u can not countinu changing formation just to suet individual players. Leipzig dominating Madrid at benerbau, due to your wrong formation and changes, how can u bench Brahim, do u hate him becarefull Madrid should be disgrace at away not at home

Very poor performance from Real Madrid. I can't comprehend how Leipzig were dominating us at home. The fact that Ancelotti went with a defensive line up means he's a clown and a coward. How can you play a defensive game against Leipzig at home? Like how?

And they hype Real Madrid as the best team in the World? Next season they will go out and Mbappe will cry his eyes out. Just overrated individual players whose egos get the better of them. Mpenda wasted many chances otherwise this noise would have stopped
