Paris Saint-Germain's women's team drew 1-1 with Real Madrid in the first round of the Champions League, marking their debut match in Madrid. The game saw Felicia Schröder score for Real Madrid in the second minute, while Sakina Karchaoui equalized for Paris Saint-Germain in the 74th minute after a penalty. This result represents an improvement for the Parisian team compared to last season, when they were eliminated in the league phase with four losses and only one point from five matches. This time, they managed to secure a point despite a difficult start.
The Parisians struggled early on, conceding a goal in the second minute when Schröder headed in a cross from Arianna Caruso. The young Swedish forward nearly scored again, but a goalkeeping error and a post saved her chances. The match remained in Real Madrid's favor until the 71st minute, when a handball by PSG's Maëlle Lakrar led to a penalty. Captain Sakina Karchaoui converted the spot-kick, despite the goalkeeper's dive, bringing the score to 1-1.
The result was a point of contention among reports, with one claiming Real Madrid was easily beaten by Paris Saint-Germain, while another suggested the match was a draw. Regardless, the draw gave Paris Saint-Germain a crucial point in their first Champions League match away from home. Their next match will be against Louvain in Paris, offering them an opportunity to build on this result.
