When Real Madrid prepared to face Arsenal in the quarter -finals of the UEFA Champions League, they did it with the aim of achieving other milestones in a brief history of the women’s section.
White people compete to achieve semi-finals of the competition for the first time since the foundation of the female club-after the takeover of the Deportivo Tacon club on July 1, 2020.
After strengthening their place as the closest competitor to Barcelona in Spanish football, the next goal of Real Madrid Madridi is to be the toughest rival of Catalan in Europe.
Madrid now propose an offer to enter the European elite from a women’s game and they quickly rise since the club’s creation only five years ago.
Champions League campaigns that are stronger in 2024/25
Real Madrid made their second appearance in the quarter-finals, after being eliminated by Barcelona 8-3 aggregate in 2021/22.
Alberto Toril’s accusation now faces Arsenal more than two legs, with Flasico’s F league against Barcelona being pinched between the two games, which adds to the complexity of Madrid’s task.
The tie saw both parties facing the first time in the tournament and this would be a hard test for Las Blancas.
The Gunners have won the second Champions League match (70) in the history of the competition, after scoring the second most goal (329), and they appeared in this round for the 16th joint record.
However, Arsenal (7) is only one place above Madrid (8) in the UEFA coefficient ranking from the last five seasons, and the calculation of Spanish clothing points is based on four years of European football, not five.
In the European competition this season, after seeing SP Sporting in the qualifying round, Madrid boasts the record of four wins and two defeats of the group stage.
Although these two losses came against Real Chelsea in Europe in recent years that Madridistas gave a good account about themselves in both matches and they were more competitive than previous years (down 2-1 and 3-2).
Madrid swept FC Twente (AGG 10-2) and Celtic (AGG 7-0) and is the second top scorer in the female Champions League this season (20) behind Barça (26), an average of 3.34 goals per match.
European progress was made by a women’s team
The Real Madrid women’s team is very much in the shadow of the side of the man of the men who won their 15th European Cup summer and and the rather unfair comparison puts extra pressure on the players.
Las Blancas is currently competing for their fourth Champions League campaign, after passing the fourth qualifying phase – one of the teams that do it on every effort.
If Madrid leave Arsenal in the quarter -finals, they will get to their first European semifinals, which will represent an important milestone for the team from the Spanish capital.
Madridistas made great progress in the country
Real has quickly strengthened their place as the second best side in the Spanish League behind Barcelona-KLUB with the largest budget in the division and 32 years more experiences have shifted Atletico Madrid-who have existed for 19 years longer.
The improvement of Las Madridistas on the field can be seen mainly in the gaps that widen with the sides behind them in the league standings.
The memorable winning team of the team at Atletico and Athletic Club in 2025 means that white people are on the track to secure the second finish for the fourth time. However, the Real Madrid hierarchy will not be satisfied only to be the best runner-up in the country.
Even though the women’s team had not won the trophy, they were getting closer and finished as runners-up in 2022/23, they managed to reach the Copa de la Reina semifinals for the second time this season, only against Barcelona-Kalah 8-1 with aggregate.
Madrid wants to close the gap in Barça
The only stumbling block for Real Madrid is the Almighty FC Barcelona, the enemy of Madrid in Spanish football.
The Clasico pemso who were shared by Catalans to Madrid for many years – Barça had won in all 18 meetings between the two parties – had raised questions about Las Las Blancas.
Indeed, you have to return to January 2023 to see the previous time Madridistas celebrated a goal against Barca Feman until the final consolation of Sigun Bruun in the Copa de la Reina semifinals on Wednesday night.
Barcelona’s dominance has not only been distinguishing the team in Spain, but has also done it in Europe – Catalan has lifted three of the last four female Champions League trophies.
Although unfavorable results for Madrid, Real gradually made progress and continue to close the gap between the two teams.
Although Barca is strongly on the track to seal their sixth F -League Crown on the boungers, the difference in points between the first and the second is significantly regulated less than this term.
Following the comfortable title was completed in 2021 (gap 25 points), 2022 (24), 2023 (10) and 2024 (15), Madrid is currently only four points from the top of the standings (after one more match than Barca), after dropping points in only four matches so far this season-at the time of writing.
Maybe a positive result of their fierce rival will shift momentum and help push the team to the next level.
Madrid is still very much in the shadow of Barcelona, but the gap is slowly reduced and maybe only a matter of time before they secure their first points, victory or even trigger their fierce rival to a trophy.

Madrid also strengthened their squad with Spanish world champion Alba Redondo-now the third top scorer in the F-Dan League Eva Navarro, along with French international Maelle Lakrar.
Three Real Madrid stars who gave the international flavor team were Weir, Caicedo and Bruun.
Weir International Scotland joined the white people from Arsenal and the attacker was the top scorer of all time the club in the female Champions League (9 goals).
When signing a contract with the club, Weir quoted one of the reasons to join was the influence of his idol, the club Legend Zinedine Zidane.
