Real Madrid-PSG: PSG women's revenge in the opener

This Tuesday, the Women Champions League opens with a gala fixture: the women's team of Paris Saint‑Germain travels to Spain to face Real Madrid at 9 p.m., under the title “Real Madrid‑PSG”. The kickoff marks the competition’s first encounter and promises a duel steeped in history.

A clash on paper

On paper, the clash looks major, but it does not really reflect the standing of these two clubs in women’s football. Real Madrid, far from being the most decorated club as in the men’s game, remains in a developmental phase compared to its Barcelona rival.

A much‑awaited revenge

Last year, the Madrilenians had knocked out the Parisians during a European campaign that turned into a nightmare for Paulo César’s players. That defeat now fuels a desire for revenge for the women’s PSG.

Expected line‑ups

The announced line‑ups are as follows: Real Madrid – Frohms; Navarro, Lakrar, Andersson, Levels; Senß, Däbritz, Toletti; Caicedo, Beerensteyn, Schröder. PSG – Kiedrzynek; Isabela, Dudek, Samoura, Elimbi Gilbert; Vitória Yaya, Echegini, Kanjinga, Karchaoui; Feller, Leuchter.

Match broadcast

The match will be broadcast this Tuesday on Disney+, from 9 p.m., giving supporters access via streaming and on TV channel.

Stakes of the League phase

To reach the League phase, both teams will have to get past the hurdle of this first round, which adds extra pressure to this inaugural duel.
