Summary
- Kairat vs. Real Madrid is only the second fixture between teams from Kazakhstan and Spain in Champions League history
- Real Madrid have lost just 3 of their last 30 matches against teams they're facing for the first time in the Champions League
- Kairat are still seeking their first-ever victory in major European competition
On September 30th, 2025, Kairat will face off against Real Madrid in a historic Champions League clash. This match will mark only the second time a team from Kazakhstan has taken on a Spanish side in the prestigious European competition, after Astana's meetings with Atlético Madrid in the 2015-16 group stage.
Real Madrid, the record 14-time Champions League winners, have a formidable record when facing new opponents in the tournament. They have lost just 3 of their last 30 matches against teams they're playing for the first time, suggesting Kairat will have their work cut out for them. However, the Kazakh side are still seeking their first-ever victory in major European competition, having drawn 1 and lost 2 of their previous 3 matches in the UEFA Conference League.
With Real Madrid looking to bounce back from two consecutive away defeats in the Champions League, and Kairat aiming to make history, this clash promises to be an intriguing encounter between the European powerhouse and the Kazakh upstarts.
