Chasing their first win in Europe. That is how Real Madrid CF head into their match against Manchester City on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Women's Champions League league phase. Pau Quesada's side go into the fixture following a 1-1 draw with PSG on Matchday 1, where a goal from Schröder wasn't enough for the madridistas to take all three points. Furthermore, the Whites sit 2nd in the Liga F Moeve standings with 13 points from four wins and just a single draw. The Valencian coach welcomes back Laia López, Noemí Bejarano, Silvia Cristóbal, Irune Dorado and Pau Comendador for the clash, who return after winning the U20 World Cup with the Spanish national team. In addition, Sara Holmgaard and Filippa Angeldahl have travelled with the squad, whilst Janou Levels—who picked up an injury in the last match—and Sandie Toletti miss out as the club's absentees.
Meanwhile, the English side also drew 2-2 against Bayern Munich in their opening match. Andrée Jeglertz's side have made an unbeatable start to the Women's Super League, becoming the only club to win their first four league matches and sitting out in front at the top of the table. Both teams have faced each other a total of three times in their history, with two draws and two wins for the madridistas. A 1-1 draw in the first leg of the 2021/2022 qualifying round, followed by a 0-1 away victory for the Whites in the return leg. Real Madrid CF also won 0-1 in the 2022/2023 qualifying round.
