Real Madrid faces Eintracht Frankfurt in the Women’s Champions League playoffs
Real Madrid will battle Eintracht Frankfurt in the third round of the Women’s Champions League playoffs, with a spot in the group stage on the line.
UEFA Draw Sets Spanish-German Clash
The UEFA draw held this week confirmed that Real Madrid will debut away from home against Eintracht Frankfurt on September 11th. The decisive second leg will be played on September 18th at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium in Madrid.
The winner of the playoff advances to the league stage of the Women’s Champions League 2025/26, making the matchup one of the most important early tests of the season for Alberto Toril’s squad.
Madridistas Struggle to Find Form
Real Madrid enters the playoff with some concerns. Their preseason was inconsistent, featuring a 3-1 victory over Union Berlin but followed by a heavy 4-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.
The Liga F debut also raised alarms. Against Dux Lugroño, the team led early, regained advantage in the second half, but conceded a stoppage-time equalizer from Signe Bruun, ending in a 2-2 draw. The slip leaves Madrid in 7th place after the first round of the domestic league.
Derby Before European Test
Before their decisive clash in Europe, Real Madrid face a high-stakes Madrid derby against Atlético de Madrid on Friday, September 5th, at 3 p.m. (Brasília time). The match is seen as a crucial opportunity for the team to build momentum before facing Eintracht Frankfurt.
