Barcelona, Liverpool & more: Real Madrid discover gruelling October schedule | OneFootball

La Liga giants Real Madrid have this weekend been made aware of a potentially season-defining run of fixtures, set to take place in the span of just over two weeks later this year.

As much comes after the schedule for the league phase of the upcoming Champions League campaign was made official.

Los Blancos will kick their European endeavours for the season into gear next month, in a showdown with French outfit Marseille in Spain’s capital.

It is a run between late October and early November, though, which could prove decisive when it comes to the ambitions of Xabi Alonso and co. for 2025/26.

This comes with Real Madrid facing up to a run of five fixtures in the space of just 16 days.

This stretch will be kicked into gear against Getafe, before the capital club play host to Italian heavyweights Juventus.

Four days later, focus will then be shifted to a crunch El Clásico meeting with Barcelona, before further outings against Valencia and Premier League champions Liverpool respectively.
