Brahim Diaz Copies Jude Bellingham Celebration After UCL Goal of the Season Contender in Real Madrid's Win at RB Leipzig

Brahim Diaz scored a contender for the UEFA Champions League's Goal of the Season award as Real Madrid won 1-0 away at RB Leipzig.

It arrived in the 48th minute of Tuesday's round of 16 first leg.

Diaz collected the ball on the right wing and appeared to be fouled by David Raum but managed to stay on his feet.

The former Manchester City youngster then skipped away from Raum before dribbling past two more Leipzig players and curling a superb left-footed shot into the far corner of the net from 16 yards.

Diaz might not have started Tuesday's game had Jude Bellingham been fit to play.

Bellingham did not travel to Germany after spraining his ankle in Madrid's 4-0 win over Girona on Saturday.

Diaz appeared to dedicate his brilliant goal to Bellingham. He imitated the Englishman's trademark celebration by planting both of his feet into the ground and stretching wide his arms.

Madrid have now won all seven of their Champions League matches this season, having taken a perfect 18 points during the group phase.

Highlights: RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid
