The dates of Real Madrid's matches in the Champions League, official

The dates for Real Madrid's preliminary Champions phase matches are already being discussed and could be as follows

Finally, after several preliminary round matches, the Champions League is back. Its league phase draw held in Monaco produced several interesting matchups. Real Madrid, above all, will have a very demanding schedule with dates that, according to Defensa Central, will be officially announced this Saturday.

Even so, for the first matchday against Manchester City, the match could take place between September 16 and 18. The second match, being a new visit to Anfield, will be played between September 30 and October 1. For the match against Juventus, which will be played at Santiago Bernabéu, the dates will be between October 21 and 22.

Against Benfica, Real Madrid will play this match between November 4 and 5 and against Marseille between the 25th and 26th of that month. The match against Olympiacos will be from December 9 to 10, against Monaco between January 20 and 21, and against Kairat on the 28th. In pursuit of winning its 16th Champions, this is the path Real Madrid will take.

A promising league phase

During the previous edition of the Champions League, Real Madrid had several difficult moments. Injuries, above all, limited the team from being able to qualify among the top 8 in the league phase. Although the club secured its place in the play-off round and then in the round of 16, the goal for this edition is to surpass itself.

Although the first matches will be challenging, Real Madrid is confident it will come out victorious. Of the 8 matches it has, 4 of them will be at Santiago Bernabéu and the rest will be played away. The match against City and Juventus, despite being rivals that have already faced Real Madrid, will be played at Bernabéu.

This is a factor that gives the team more confidence to qualify among the top 8 clubs on the continent. In addition to the possible dates of its matches, these will be played at a time between 6:45 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Spanish time.  With almost everything ready, all that's left is to wait for the club's first match in this Champions against City.

Real Madrid's goal

With a reinforced and renewed squad, Real Madrid will seek to avoid at all costs having to play the play-off phase again. The round of 16, which will be played between March 10-11 and 18-18, is the team's goal. Once achieved, Real Madrid's intention will obviously be to reach the final in Budapest, which will be played on May 30.
