Real Madrid faces its second Champions League match against RB Leipzig, who did not start their journey through continental competition on the right foot after losing to Shakhtar (1-4).
Ancelotti's men have enjoyed a slow start, winning the seven games they have played since the beginning of the new campaign - five in the Santander League, the European Super Cup, and one in the Champions League.
The Madrid team takes on the challenge at the Bernabéu to maintain their good run and reach this weekend's derby against Atlético de Madrid in high spirits.

In the first match in their history against Real Madrid, Leipzig travels to the Spanish capital with the need to hold on to a positive result that will keep them alive in the European tournament.
The German team was the victim of a crushing thrashing by Shakhtar in their
stadium. The team made the blunt decision to dismiss it's until then Italian coach, Domenico Tedesco, in the face of such results.
In addition, the Germans are also not having their best moment in the Bundesliga, currently occupying the tenth position - after another overwhelming defeat in their last game against Frankfurt, who beat them 4-0. Now they place all their trust in Marco Rose to lift the team.
The German coach already has experience in the Champions League, especially against teams like Real Madrid, whom he faced when he was in charge of Borussia Moenchengladbach.
The duel between Real Madrid and RB Leipzig will take place this Wednesday, September 14, starting at 9:00 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
The match on the second day of the Champions League group stage can be seen live on television through the Movistar Champions League channel and the Movistar platform.
In addition, the match can be followed in the live broadcast minute by minute on the Cadena SER.
Real Madrid will have to face their first Champions League match at the Bernabéu without the presence of their top scorer, Karim Benzema. The French player continues to recover from the injury suffered last week at Celtic Park, missing his debut at 'home' with the Real Madrid fans.
Until now, Ancelotti would have placed all his trust in Hazard to fill the void left by the Frenchman.
However, everything indicates that the Italian could change his strategy and opt for Rodrygo Goes, who did not disappoint against Betis, to replace him in tonight's match.
The Sanhedrin: "At Real Madrid, they are obliged to say that they are happy with Hazard."
