In the final matchday of the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League league phase, Benfica will host Real Madrid at Estádio da Luz in Lisbon on Wednesday. This match is very important because Real Madrid wants to guarantee a direct spot in the round of 16, while Benfica needs to win to maintain their hopes of moving on.
Benfica has had a patchy European campaign. They are currently outside of the playoff spots, two points behind the qualifying threshold, and are ranked 29th in the 36-team league standings. Their challenge was made more difficult by a loss to Juventus the previous time out, and they now need to score as many points as possible at home to keep their hopes of making the continent alive. Despite their difficulties in Europe, the Portuguese team is undefeated in the Primeira Liga at home.
Under coach Álvaro Arbeloa, Real Madrid has won a number of games in various competitions, including a convincing 6-1 Champions League victory over Monaco and a strong La Liga outcome against Villarreal, and they come to Lisbon with a lot of momentum. They have the advantage due to their position in the league phase standings, and a draw would probably be sufficient to almost guarantee a top-eight finish and a direct knockout spot.
Important players will be closely examined. Benfica will look to Vangelis Pavlidis for attacking inspiration, while Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid has been a prolific scorer this season. Madrid's defensive line injuries could affect strategy and create an open, competitive match.
