  Madrid need to beat Salzburg, preferably by as big a margin as possible, to boost their chances of advancing to the last 16 of this season's Champions League. If they win, they will be one point behind eight-placed Bayer Leverkusen, who sit in the last automatic qualification spot. They would later go even further ahead through Kylian Mbappe.
