Is Vinicius Jr eligible to play for Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig in UEFA Champions League 2026-27?

Vinicius hasn't scored a goal in the UCL this season. Real Madrid are all set to host RB Leipzig for their third league phase outing of the UEFA Champions League 2026-27 campaign.

This will be an entertaining clash, which is scheduled to take place at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. The Jose Mourinho-led side are on a two-match winning run in their current UCL campaign.

They first took down Inter Milan and then came out on top to secure a 4-3 victory against AS Roma. Real Madrid were down against the Wolves, but made an astonishing comeback to secure three crucial points.

They will now be looking to extend their winning run. The Merengues came up with a strong show against Sevilla in their LaLiga outing.

They will be looking to bring a similar sort of performance in their upcoming Champions League outing, but Los Blancos must not take their opponents lightly. The LaLiga giants are going to enjoy a massive advantage at home.

One of their top stars, Vinicius Junior, was shown a red card during the Spanish league game against Villarreal. Is he eligible to play for Real Madrid in their upcoming UCL outing?
