Paris FC is gradually adapting to the rhythm of the Champions League. After two defeats for its debut in the group stage of the competition, the Parisian club scored a second consecutive victory against Real Madrid on Wednesday December 20 (1-0). The Parisiennes put an end to their evening opponent’s hopes of qualification. For their part, they are still in the running to secure a ticket to the quarter-finals.

Already victorious against the Spanish at home on Thursday (2-1), the Parisiennes made their trip to Madrid a success. Their goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, already the author of a penalty save in the first leg, shone again with decisive saves to keep her clean sheet. At the end of the match, Gaëtane Thiney gave his team victory, on a penalty, with a panenka (79th).

Paris FC, third in its group, has six points, one point less than the Swedes BK Häcken, and only two less than the leader, Chelsea. They will try to place themselves in a favorable position for qualification for the quarter-finals when they travel to Sweden on January 24.
