Real Madrid women seek first Champions League win against Paris FC
After three straight draws, Real Madrid's women face Paris FC hoping for a first Champions League win and a push toward the top four.
Three draws in a row is not a disaster, but it is not what Real Madrid's women were hoping for either. Now they face Paris FC in the Champions League, chasing their first win in the competition.
The maths is simple. Only the top four places give direct access to the quarter-finals, and Madrid need victories to get closer to that group.
There is extra pressure, too. The shadow of Barcelona, Madrid's great rival, also hangs over this game.
A win over the French side would end the run of stalemates and give the team in white a real boost in the standings. Anything less, and the gap to the top four gets harder to close.
