Real Madrid Women’s Champions League win streak continued this week, cementing their status as early contenders, while Bayern Munich snatched a dramatic victory on a night of intense European football. Matchday 2 of the UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) delivered high drama and significant results, particularly the Madridistas’ decisive victory in a historic rivalry clash.
The Perfect Start: Real Madrid Stuns PSG in Paris
Real Madrid ensured their ideal start to the 2025-26 UWCL campaign continued with a hard-fought 2-1 away win against Paris Saint-Germain.
The Spanish side looked clinical in the first half. Naomie Feller opened the scoring in the 29th minute, latching onto a brilliant cross from Yasmim and placing it expertly into the bottom corner. Their advantage was doubled on the stroke of half-time when Alba Redondo pounced on a rebound from a Caroline Weir attempt, netting Madrid’s second.
While PSG responded in the 57th minute through Rasheedat Ajibade, they could not break through Madrid’s defence again, despite taking eight second-half shots. This Real Madrid Women’s Champions League win underscores the team’s strong form and puts them in an excellent position in their group.
Alba Redondo: The Competition’s Leading Scorer
The result was particularly significant for forward Alba Redondo, who has now netted three goals in the 2025-26 Women’s Champions League—the most of any player in the competition so far. Her relentless attacking threat will be key as the Madridistas look to continue their run.
Bayern Edges Juventus with Last-Gasp Drama
In another crucial Group Stage fixture, Bayern Munich secured their first three points of the campaign with a tense 2-1 victory away at Juventus.
The action started quickly, with Bayern’s Pernille Harder opening the scoring in the 11th minute. However, the lead was short-lived, as Juventus swiftly equalized just six minutes later via Eva Schatzer.
As the match looked set to end in a draw, second-half substitute Lea Schuller proved to be the difference-maker. Schuller popped up with a stunning last-gasp winner, securing a vital three points for the German side and kicking off their Champions League journey in earnest.
Data Debrief: PSG’s Alarming Losing Streak
While Real Madrid celebrates their continued success, the result means troubling news for Paris Saint-Germain. PSG has now suffered four consecutive defeats in the competition, marking their longest losing run in the tournament since at least the 2016-17 season. Coach and players will be under pressure to turn their European form around in the upcoming matchdays.
