Real Madrid will visit Manchester City's headquarters in the women's Champions League match on Thursday night (21.00 WIB/Disney+). This is the second match for both teams in the group phase, where Real Madrid hopes to achieve their first win after previously only being able to achieve a draw against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the opening match.
In the previous match, Madrid managed to take the lead thanks to a quick goal from the young Swedish striker, Felicia Schröder, in the second minute. However, PSG managed to equalize through a penalty executed by Karchaoui at the end of the match, so the match ended with a score of 1-1. Currently, Real Madrid is in tenth position in the women's Champions League group stage standings with five matches remaining. The top four teams will advance to the quarter-finals, while the teams in fifth to twelfth positions must go through additional qualifying rounds.
Coach Pau Quesada hopes that his team can reach the quarter-finals, an achievement that Madrid has achieved in the previous three editions. In domestic competition, Real Madrid showed a solid performance with an unbeaten record in League F, achieving four wins and one draw, and collecting 13 points from five matches. They are only two points behind the leaders, Barcelona, who they will face on October 4.
Madrid have just gone through a difficult match against Real Sociedad which ended with a score of 5-3 thanks to two goals from Schröder in the final minutes. Athenea del Castillo returned as a starter after recovering from a collarbone injury, but the team still has to wait for the return of Sandie Toletti, who has a hamstring injury, as well as Sara Holmgaard and Filippa Angeldahl.
Meanwhile, Manchester City also enter this match on the back of a draw in their opening match against Bayern Munich, which ended 2-2. City got an equalizer in the 86th minute from Carlotta Wamser. In the English Super League, City have started the season very well, picking up four wins from four games and currently leading the table.
The team coached by Andrée Jeglertz conceded only four goals, two of which came in a 4-2 win over Liverpool. The main threats to Madrid's defense will come from strikers Beth Mead, who is a European champion with England, and Kadija Shaw, the club's all-time top goalscorer. However, City will play without Vivianne Miedema who is unable to appear due to a knee injury.
The two teams have previously met three times in the women's Champions League, with Madrid achieving two wins and one draw. The last meeting took place at Alfredo di Stéfano in August 2022, where Madrid won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Caroline Weir.
This match is very important for both teams, with Madrid trying to gain positive momentum and City wanting to prove that they are returning to the competition with full strength.
What happened next
After playing against Manchester City, Real Madrid will focus on domestic matches in League F, where they are in good form. The upcoming match against Barcelona will also be a big challenge, and the result could affect their season as a whole. It is hoped that Coach Pau Quesada can take advantage of the momentum from the positive results to strengthen the team ahead of the upcoming crucial matches.
