RB Leipzig attacker Dani Olmo insists they can upset Real Madrid next month.

The two teams meet in the Champions League round of 16.

Former Barcelona prospect Olmo told Marca: They are different leagues. Spain is more tactical, more of a positional game, while in Germany they attack spaces more. In LaLiga, for example, except for Real Madrid and Atletico, which play you in both ways (positional and counter-attacking), there is not much in terms of counter-attacks.

"In Germany, there is. You have to pay close attention to the transitions, regardless of the team."

On facing Real's midfield, he added: They have top world players, like Kroos or Modric. Luka is one of my favourites. And up top, they have fast players, who kill you in space, like 'Vini', Rodrygo We have to be careful when we have the ball and when we don't and be attentive for the 90 minutes."
