Real Madrid women played Paris Saint-Germain women to a 1-1 draw in the first match of the UEFA Women's Champions League League Stage at Ciudad Real Madrid on 22 September 2026. The result leaves both sides with a point after the opening fixture.
Felicia Schröder opened the scoring for the hosts in the second minute, a quick strike that caught PSG off guard. It was a clean finish, and Real Madrid kept their advantage through a disciplined first half. By then, the visitors were still finding their rhythm.
Sakina Karchaoui equalised for PSG from the penalty spot in the seventy-fourth minute. She had already been booked in the forty-first, but the spot-kick settled the game. And here's the thing — Real Madrid had not conceded from open play until that moment.
PSG made three changes around the hour mark, bringing on Emilie Libakken Østerås, Paulina Dudek, and Romee Leuchter together. Real Madrid responded with two substitutions, adding Jennifer Onyi Echegini and Arianna Caruso in the final quarter. The game opened up after that.
Real Madrid held 49 per cent possession while PSG edged ahead at 51 per cent. Both sides registered four shots on target, though PSG had seven off target compared to Real's five. The numbers suggest a balanced contest where chances came and went without either side dominating.
The one point each keeps both teams in the same position after the opening round. Real Madrid came into the match on a run of results that included three wins and a draw, while PSG had won their last four league games. This draw interrupts both sequences.
