Real Madrid's journey to the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League final is outlined in a detailed route map. Starting with the group stage, Real Madrid, as one of the top seeds, will face teams from various pots, aiming to secure one of the top two spots in their group to advance. If they progress, they will enter the knockout phase, beginning with the Round of 16, where they could meet any team that finished second in their group. Subsequent stages include the Quarter-finals and Semi-finals, where matchups are determined by a draw without seeding, potentially facing any of Europe's elite clubs. The path is fraught with challenges, including potential encounters with powerhouses like Bayern Munich, Manchester City, or Barcelona. The final is set to be held at the Allianz Arena in Munich on May 31, 2025, where Real Madrid would aim to lift the trophy for the 15th time in their storied history.
