Real Madrid and Paris FC aim to end their Champions League drought

The Real Madrid women's team reaches its fourth Champions League match without having secured a win yet, after three draws that leave them with three points and in ninth place, while Paris FC also has not recorded a victory in the European stage, accumulating only two points and sitting in fourteenth place.

The information comes from the EFE agency. The Merengues have accumulated three consecutive draws (1‑1 against PSG in Madrid, 1‑1 versus Manchester City and 2‑2 against Bayern Munich), always taking the lead on the scoreboard. With three points they occupy ninth place, leading a five‑way tie with Manchester City, Koge, Benfica and Servette. To advance to the quarter‑finals, they must finish among the top four, as the fifth‑to‑twelfth places must go through a preliminary knockout round.

In the Liga F, Pau Quesada's side is second, four points behind Barcelona. Last weekend they drew 1‑1 against Athletic Club, losing the advantage and falling behind the leader. Colombian forward Linda Caicedo left the field in the 64th minute due to a leg injury, without official confirmation of her condition. To date, Caicedo has scored three goals and recorded one assist this season.

Paris FC Situation

Paris FC also has not recorded a win in the Champions, after losing to Barcelona and drawing with Arsenal and Häcken, accumulating only two points. With those two points they are fourteenth in the standings, outside the places that guarantee access to the next round. In the women's Ligue 1, the team coached by Sandrine Soubeyrand sits in third place, with five wins, one draw and one loss in eight matches. Their captain Clara Mateo, who has scored six goals this season, received a red card in the final minute of the match against Häcken and will be absent against Real Madrid.

The two teams have met five times in the Champions, three of them last season, and in the 2025/2026 league phase the match in Paris ended 1‑1. In the preliminary round before the round of 16, Real Madrid advanced with an aggregate of 5‑2 (2‑3 in Paris, 2‑0 in Madrid), while in 2023 Paris won the ties. Real Madrid is expected to line up Frohms; Silvia Cristóbal, Lakrar, María Méndez, Eva Navarro; Caruso, Elisa, Andreia Jacinto; Athenea, Schröder and Keukelaar, and Paris FC to present Seweryn; N'Dongala, Ould Hocine, Greboval, Hillary Diaz; Le Moguedec, Korosec; Reynders, Scott, Toloba and Viens, under the refereeing of Emily Heaslip at the Alfredo di Stéfano stadium at 18:45 (Disney +).

The contrast between Real Madrid's urgency to break its streak and Paris FC's need to secure its first win turns the match into a turning point for both aspirations in the competition.
