With just one game left to play in the Champions League league phase, Real Madrid have a slim chance of automatically qualifying for the round of 16.
Going into the 2024–25 Champions League season, Real Madrid were one of the favorites to finish in the top eight of the new league phase standings. However, Los Blancos' title defense has had its fair share of disappointments. Real Madrid suffered defeats to Lille, AC Milan and Liverpool, giving them just 12 points heading into the final matchday.
Still, the defending European champions can climb up the ranks and secure a spot among the eight best teams in the league phase with a little help from teams across Europe, including their biggest rivals, Barcelona.
Check out just what Real Madrid need to happen on Wednesday, Jan. 29 to qualify for the Champions League round of 16.
