Real Madrid and Juventus Renew Storied Champions League Rivalry

On October 22nd, 2025, Real Madrid and Juventus will meet for the 22nd time in the UEFA Champions League, a rivalry second only to Bayern Munich versus Real Madrid with 28 previous matchups. The two European powerhouses last faced off in the 2018 quarterfinals, where Real Madrid progressed 4-3 on aggregate, thanks in large part to a dramatic 97th-minute penalty from Cristiano Ronaldo in the second leg.

Interestingly, Real Madrid has gone on to win the Champions League three times (2013-14, 2016-17, 2017-18) in the seasons they've eliminated Juventus, with the sole exception being 2014-15 when Juventus knocked them out in the semifinals. This season, Juventus has drawn their first two Champions League matches, a feat they haven't achieved in over a decade.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid has been in scintillating form, netting 18 goals in their last five group stage matches and winning all five. They'll be looking to continue this dominant run as they host Juventus at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. With both teams' rich history in the competition, this promises to be an enthralling encounter between two of Europe's most successful clubs.
