Real Madrid Women will host Paris FC at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano on Wednesday in the second leg of the knockout phase playoffs of the 2025-26 UEFA Women's Champions League campaign. Despite resting multiple key players, the home side cruised to a 3-0 victory over Alhama CF in the league on Sunday and will be looking to carry that momentum into continental action this week.
Madrid already have one foot in the UWCL quarterfinals after edging Paris 3-2 in their first-leg clash last week. Goals from Caroline Weir, Athenea del Castillo and Linda Caicedo secured a hard-fought victory for Las Blancas, who will be looking to finish the job on their home patch this week to set up a meeting with rivals Barcelona Femení in the quarterfinals next month.
Thanks for the submission!
Paris FC, meanwhile, have endured a difficult week, with their first-leg defeat sandwiched between losses to rivals Paris Saint-Germain Women in the league and domestic cup. They must find a way to motivate themselves ahead of their return to continental action.
Finding themselves 3-1 down, a late goal from 19-year-old Maeline Mendy helped reduce the deficit in the first leg, giving Paris a less daunting task ahead of their trip to Spain this week, although there is still much to be done if they are to keep their Champions League ambitions alive.
