Real Madrid, which reaches the group stage of the Women's Champions League with only two points out of a possible six, is preparing for its first meeting in the competition with Bayern Munich, the German club that remains undefeated in all its competitions. The meringues, who have drawn both at home against PSG and away against Manchester City, are looking for their first European victory of the season to avoid the previous tie that separates them from the quarterfinals. With the twelfth position in the group table, Santiago García's team is on the verge of elimination and needs a favorable result to advance.
In League F, Madrid occupies second position with six wins, one draw and one loss. The goals scored total 19, while they have conceded 16, leaving them two points behind the leader Barcelona. The white club has returned to European competition 27 days after its last match, after a streak that included a rout against Barcelona and two home victories against Espanyol and Tenerife. The coach does not have to worry about injuries and will be able to count on his starting eleven, among which are Lineth Beerensteyn, Sara Däbritz and Arianna Caruso, three players with experience at Bayern.
Bayern Munich, for its part, arrives with a victory and a draw in the group stage, occupying fourth position in the group. The Bavarian team drew 2-2 with Manchester City on the first day and beat Benfica 3-0 on the second. In the domestic competition, the club leads with eight wins in eight games, 29 goals for and only 7 against. The absences of Giulia Gwinn, Jovana Damnjanovic and Lena Oberdorf have forced the coach to consider the Spanish Edna Imade as a possible starter. Bayern's threat continues to be Pernille Harder, the third highest scorer in the history of the Champions League with 50 goals.
Although they have never met in the competition, the two teams met in a friendly in Munich in August 2025, where Bayern won 4-1. Real Madrid maintains a perfect record against German teams, with three wins in three games last season, two against Eintracht and one against Wolfsburg. With the group stage deadline approaching, both teams are looking to consolidate their position and advance to the next phase, where the competition will intensify even further.
