After the first leg of the playoffs to qualify for the UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-finals, the two Spanish teams, Real Madrid CF and Atlético de Madrid, will be looking to progress to the next round. The white team, who finished 7th in the group stage with 11 points, and who are coming off a 0-3 victory against Alhama CF ElPozo on the last Liga F Moeve matchday, defeated the French side 2-3 in the first leg, meaning a win or a draw at their home stadium will be enough for the *madridistas*. Weir, Athenea, and Linda Caicedo were the goalscorers for the *merengue* side in the match played in Paris. Merle Frohms, Antonia Silva, Tere Abelleira, who is recovering from an ACL injury, Signe Bruun, and Lotte Keukelaar will not be available.
The *madridistas* will be looking to reach the quarter-finals for the second time in their history. They will face Sandrine Soubeyrand's side, who finished the Champions League group stage in 10th position with 8 points. The Parisian side has accumulated three consecutive defeats across all competitions. Kaja Korosec and Maeline Mendy, who scored in the final minutes, netted the two goals for the French side in the first leg. The last time París FC, then known as Juvisy, reached the quarter-finals was thirteen years ago. Both teams will face each other for the fifth time in their history. The record stands at four encounters, with one victory for Real Madrid CF, one draw, and two wins for the French side. The winner will face FC Barcelona in the quarter-finals.
