With the victory, the white team has six points out of nine and consolidates itself as second in the group behind Chelsea, who defeated Celtic tonight on Scottish soil. This season is the second time that Madrid has won two of its first three games in the first phase of the Champions League. The other time he achieved it was in 2021-2022,

Against Twente, which this year is in fifth place in the Eredivisie, five points behind the leader, Real was a superior team that dominated all stages of the match from the beginning. The first goal came in a formidable ball delivery in which the team led by Toril moved the ball from one side of the defense to the other while being harassed by the Dutch players. White got rid of the pressure until connecting in the center of the field with Bruun, who launched Linda Caicedo into space. The Colombian picked up the ball on the baseline, pinned her marker and assisted Weir behind. The talented Scottish midfielder made an impact first and Bruun got ahead of Carleer to score the cross from point-blank range and complete a precious goal due to the precision in the combination at maximum speed.

Real were successful in their pressure in the opposing half and very fine when it came to building the game from behind, always guided by the double pivot formed by Angeldahl and Leupolz, two players with fantastic feet and enormous defensive work, but also by the speed that Weir gives to the combinations and the overflow of Caicedo and Feller on the wings.

In the first section, after María Méndez showed her aerial power for the first time, the Scot missed a one-on-one after a filtered pass from Caicedo. Weir also missed a close-range shot on the brink of half-time after Feller dribbled past Van Ginkel to sneak into the area, but in the second half she was much more precise. First he placed a very touched cross for Feller to head into the net at will and minutes later he scored the free kick into the top corner.

With Madrid in flight and the game defined, Toril remembered Barcelona and gave the Scots, Feller and Leupolz a break and brought in Toletti – recently recovered from injury -, Camacho and Abelleira. The victory, which could have been greater, continued with another goal from María Méndez in another corner kick, one from Camacho and the first from Oihane Hernández as a Real Madrid player. The winger, in need of good performances after being left out of Spain’s last list and making specific errors with Madrid in the release of the ball, recovered the ball in the center of the field and herself defined the net after shooting a wall with Bruun . but also for the classic against Barça, a team against which they have lost in their 14 matches, on Saturday in Valdebebas.
