Champions League holders Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of a rampant RB Leipzig who deserved their 3-2 home win.

Carlo Ancelotti's team had won 14 of their 16 games played suffering just two draws. This was the first time they had lost since May when they were beaten 1-0 away at Atletico Madrid having rested half the team because they had just won the league.

There were rotations in this game too but that should take nothing away from Marco Rose's team.

Real Madrid were already through and just avoiding defeat would have secured top spot so with players starting to signs of fatigue Ancelotti rested David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Luka Modric, Karim Benzema and Fede Valverde.
