The defender of the Hungarian national team headed the goal of the Royals.

According to Gracenote, which deals with statistics, Willi Orbán is the second Hungarian player to score a goal against Real Madrid in a Champions League match. However, the goal of the Hungarian national team proved to be too little for RB Leipzig to advance, after they played a 1-1 draw as guests of Real Madrid in the second leg of the round of 16, so the Spanish team reached the top eight with a 2-1 aggregate score.

Leipzig, who traveled there with a one-goal deficit, had a good start to the second leg in Madrid, in which the Hungarian national team Péter Gulácsi started in goal and Orbán in the center of the defense.

Throughout the first half, the German team played more active and dangerous football, whose Belgian striker, Lois Openda, shot at the goal three times from a good position, but missed the target each time. On the other side, the actions usually died down, mainly due to the work of the well-performing Leipzig defense.

In the continuation, Real Madrid's attacking game became more lively, and this had a result in the 65th minute, Jude Bellingham's great ball was hit by Vinícius Júnior into Gulácsi's goal from 13 meters.

In response, Leipzig immediately nailed the Spanish team in front of the goal, and three minutes later, Orbán headed into the net, keeping the Leipzig team in the game.

The game remained intense and pulsating, opportunities arose on both sides, and in the 91st minute, Dani Olmo hit the crossbar, and as it turned out later, this was the biggest opportunity for Leipzig, who fought heroically, but could not eliminate Real.

According to Gracenote, which deals with statistics, Willi Orbán is the second Hungarian player to score a goal against Real Madrid in a Champions League match. The younger Albert Flórián was the first to do so in November 1995, when Ferencváros drew 1-1 at home with Real.

The national team defender scored in the Bérnabeu Stadium as a Hungarian after almost 14 years, the last time he scored against Krisztián Vadócz at the home of the Royal Guard was on May 2, 2010, in the colors of Osasuna, in a 3-2 loss in the Spanish league match.
