RB Leipzig lost to Real Madrid 0-1 in the first game of the Round of 16 two weeks ago, resulting in the German Red Bulls being at a disadvantage before their away game at Santiago Berna. But Simons still believes it is still possible for his team to turn things around and compete for a ticket to the next round.

‘I believe in our team. We have to go out there and enjoy playing on this field. To everyone who thought we were dead I would say nothing is impossible,’ said the midfielder, who has scored eight goals and provided 12 assists in 33 games this season.

It is not the 20-year-old’s first time at the Santiago Bernabeu, having been on the bench for Paris Saint-Germain to face Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the same competition. This is where the White Team turned the situation around in the second game and successfully advanced to the next round. 

‘I remember it being a very big game. We went there 1-0 up from the first game and we were even ahead, but then Madrid turned the game around with three goals,’ recalls Simons.
