Real Madrid vs Roma: Match Preview
Last season, Real Madrid finished second in Liga F, qualifying for the Champions League. They faced Eintracht Frankfurt in the qualifiers and won 5–1 on aggregate. However, their recent performances have been mixed. They started their current domestic season with one draw and one loss. Although they are unbeaten now, this run includes a draw, placing them fifth in the table with 11 points. They are three points behind the second team and six points off the top spot.
Roma had a strong season in Serie A Femminile, finishing third, which allowed them to qualify for the Champions League. They struggled in the qualifiers but managed to win against Sporting after losing the first leg. In the Serie A Cup, Roma reached the final but lost to Juventus. However, they began this season well, winning their opening match 4–0 against Parma.
