Real Madrid – Monaco. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On January 20, the match of the 7th round of the main round of the UEFA Champions League will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu, in which Real Madrid will meet with Monaco. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Real Madrid

In 2025, the team did not win any of the tournaments. The way out, according to the management, was to replace the experienced Ancelotti with the promising Xabi Alonso, who is no stranger to the project, and at the same time became famous with Bayer. But the ex-midfielder did not manage: after cheerfully starting the new season, as a result, by Christmas, the club was already lagging behind Barcelona in the Premier League and lost to them in January in the decisive match for the Super Cup. After that, the mentor was changed… And Arbeloa in his new role started with a defeat – Lunin missed Albacete three times in the cup. Then there was a confident victory, to the whistle of the stands, but Levante became the opponent there.

However, there are no particular reasons for concern in the Champions League. The Spaniards did not shine there, losing to both Liverpool and Manchester City. But all the same, having already won four, it was possible to guarantee the playoffs – but you can still fight for a place in the top 8.

Monaco

The club spent two previous seasons under the leadership of Hütter. With Ada, he managed to take second and third place in League 1, respectively. However, at the beginning of autumn, the Austrian quarreled with the management, which ended in his dismissal. It definitely didn’t get any better than this: 1:3 with Lorient at home was already the ninth defeat. The Eurocup zone is getting further and further away…

In the Champions League, it all started with an unexpected defeat in the first round in Bruges, 1:4. Then there were no defeats, but still, with three draws, only Bude/Glimt and Galatasaray managed to win. There are still real chances to enter the playoffs, but only with victories in the last matches of the main round.

Statistics of personal meetings

The clubs met in the spring of 2004 – and exchanged confident home victories.
