Twente-Real Madrid: final Women’s Champions League opening phase clash
Pau Quesada's team have the chance to secure direct qualification for the quarter-finals (Wednesday, 9:00 pm CET).
Real Madrid head into their final game in the initial phase of the Women’s Champions League. Pau Quesada's team sit fifth in the table as they prepare to face Twente in De Grolsch Veste (Wednesday, 9:00 pm CET) looking to take the three points that will give them the chance of a direct place in the competition's quarter-finals.
Our girls lie in fifth, level on 10 points with Juventus in fourth, and Bayern Munich in sixth due to a worse goal difference. The three of them are just a single point behind Chelsea in third. The top four qualify directly, while fifth to eighth (top seeds) and ninth to twelfth (not seeded) will face a playoff.
The opposition
Twente are in 24th place in the league, with a record of three draws and three defeats - two of which have come by a single goal - as was the case last time out against reigning champions Arsenal (1-0). In the Dutch league, they're currently second on 22 points.
