Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Leipzig on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the fourth straight season on a day in which coach Carlo Ancelotti was accused of tax fraud by Spanish authorities.

Madrid were outplayed during parts of the match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium but advanced 2-1 on aggregate thanks to their 1-0 win in the first-leg in Germany three weeks ago.
