Real Madrid Women have secured their place in the UEFA Women’s Champions League league phase after completing a 4-1 aggregate victory over Ajax in the third qualifying round. A 2-1 win in the second leg settled the tie and confirmed Las Blancas’ return to Europe’s top table.
The result preserves an impressive continental record. The club has advanced to the league phase or group stage in every campaign since the format was introduced. This latest success against the Dutch side ensures that sequence continues uninterrupted.
The third qualifying round served as the final gateway into the main competition. Real Madrid’s aggregate victory ensured they were among the nine sides to progress from this stage and book a place alongside the nine direct qualifiers.
The victory comes during an active Liga F campaign that has already produced notable domestic fixtures, including the recent derby against Atlético Madrid. Balancing those league demands with European football will now be the immediate challenge.
Confirmed qualifiers
Real Madrid will line up alongside some of the most recognisable names in women’s football. Barcelona, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal are among the clubs already assured of their places in the league phase.
Draw details
The draw for the league phase will take place on Friday at 12:00 CET in Nyon. Real Madrid will learn their opponents for the group stage at that ceremony.
With their spot in the main draw now certain, attention turns to Switzerland. The club will aim to translate their qualifying form into a strong showing once the league phase begins in earnest.
