UEFA Women's Champions League 2025/26

Well a Kazakh team most probably followed by good old Sparta Praha: it could have gone worse for Roma. Inter could have it a little harder with Brann, but on the other hand the winner of Valur vs Sporting Braga shouldn't be a big problem.

Both dodged Hammarby and, especially, Manchester United.

 

"Norway" United beats PSV 4:0.

Luxembourg's champions managed to have a player being sent off in two out of two matches!

 

Valerenga vs Ferencvaros
Vorskla Poltava vs Leuven

Katowice vs Twente

 

BK Häcken vs Atletico Madrid
Paris FC vs Austria Wien
Brann vs Manchester United
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Real Madrid
Roma vs Sporting

 

Brann play at home first. This might very well be a packed house in Bergen and a possible attendance record for women's soccer in Norway.

Very good results for both your Norwegian teams, @Bauser!

 

Fun night at Brann Stadion!

I was behind the goal for Panengstuen's craziest saves and the goal, good times

 

AS Roma 1-2 Sporting Portugal


Brann 1-0 Man United


Frankfurt 1-2 Real


PFC 0-0 Austria Vienna
didn't find highlights, only the full match.
Despite PFC dominating the first 75 minutes, the parisians didn't succeed to score, after all the departures during the smmer transfer window, they miss a real striker. Everything will be decided in Vienna next week.


Vorskla 0-2 Louvain
Full match. First time a Belgium club in champions league ?

 

HT Austria Vienna 0 - 0 PFC
It's poor, so poor, both sides.
Neither team deserves to play in the Champions League

 

Clara Mateo, finally twice, qualifying PFC for league stage. Good for France

France 3 teams : OL PSG and PFC
Spain 3 teams : Barca Real and Atletico winning against Hacken
England 3 teams : Ars Chelsea and MU (shame for Brann)
Germany 2 teams : Bayern WOB
Italy 2 teams : Juve Roma
Portugal 1 team : Benfica
Norway 1 team : Valerenga
Netherland 1 team : Twente
Austria 1 team : St Polten
Belgium 1 team : Louvain \o/ \o/

Swedish teams will play Europa cup

Last year there were 11 different countries at group stage 16 teams
This year with the new system, only 10 countries for 18 teams. No better. luckily there's the Europa Cup...

 

the pots don't really matter anymore since each team plays against 2 teams from each pot
