Real Madrid beat Paris FC 3–0 at the Alfredo Di Stéfano on Tuesday, 10 November, recording their first win of the Women’s Champions League league phase. Arianna Caruso, Lineth Beerensteyn and Linda Caicedo scored after half-time, as confirmed by the club’s official report. Spanish broadcaster RTVE places the victory after three consecutive draws.
The first half ended goalless, but Madrid broke through in the 55th minute when Caruso followed up a Felicia Schröder effort saved by the goalkeeper. Beerensteyn added the second in the 65th minute from Schröder’s pass, before another contribution from the Swedish forward helped Caicedo score in the 81st.
Schröder’s involvement links all three attacking sequences, making her contribution central to explaining how the match was settled. Substitutions also mattered, with Beerensteyn and Caicedo both entering during the game and scoring. Three draws and a victory leave Madrid on six points from four fixtures, still unbeaten. The change in outcome is significant within the points system: this one win contributed as many points as their previous three European matches combined. Madrid converted a level first half into a clear advantage without conceding at the other end.
