After a chaotic final Champions League league phase matchday, Real Madrid now know their two potential opponents for the knockout phase playoffs.
Despite securing a 3–0 victory against Brest, Real Madrid did not finish in the top eight of the Champions League standings. The defending European champions must compete in the knockout phase playoffs with the other 16 teams that failed to automatically qualify for the round of 16.
The road to the Champions League final looks harder than Los Blancos might have expected at the start of the season, though, with how the final seedings played out.
