"It's exciting to play against a club like Real Madrid on such an important stage. For me, this will be the first time [at the Bernabeu], a very special moment. I've watched many matches at the Bernabeu on TV. It will be an incredible moment to play there," RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko has said.
"These are the games that you imagine to be involved in when you're a child. You just dream, you don't believe that it can be real one day. It's a dream to play against Real Madrid, something exciting," he added.
Those are some heartwarming words from the Slovenian.
Sesko has scored 11 goals in 31 appearances for RB Leipzig this season. He even found the net against Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League last 16, but his goal was controversially disallowed. He also missed a few big chances that night.
Some Madridistas wanted the club to consider signing the 20-year-old last year. 'Speed of Mbappe, size of Haaland' – that's how one of them described the striker.
After winning the first leg 1-0, Real Madrid will take on RB Leipzig at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, March 6.
