Scenarios for Real Madrid to qualify for the round of 16 of the Champions League

Real Madrid fans are eagerly awaiting the team’s remaining matches in the first round of the Champions League.

The Royal Club seeks to continue the positive results in the European Championship, hoping to win its first title under the new system, which was officially adopted this season.

The new system for the European Championship is that the holders of positions from first to eighth qualify directly to the round of 16, while a round-robin play-off is played between the holders of positions from ninth to 24th to determine 8 teams participating in the final round of 16 alongside the eight finalists.

While the remaining teams are completely eliminated from the tournament, without the possibility of qualifying for the European League, then the tournament continues its usual format of the round of 16, then the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and then the final in one match.

Real Madrid has two matches remaining in the group stage against Red Bull Salzburg and Brest Stadium.

Given that the Spanish club wasted 9 points in the first 6 rounds, its chances of direct qualification have become somewhat possible, as it is 3 points away from Bayern Munich, which is in eighth place.

Real Madrid has a great chance of reaching the round of 16, as those in positions from ninth to twenty-fourth will play decisive matches to decide qualification.

Real Madrid will advance directly to the round of 16 from among the top eight, if it manages to win the next two matches.

If he wins only one match, he will play in the playoff matches and thus maintain his chances of qualifying to continue his journey towards a new title in the Champions League.

If it loses both matches, its chances of reaching the playoff will be very complicated, especially since many of the non-favorite teams have caused major surprises in the tournament so far.
