Real Madrid Secure 2025/26 Champions League Spot After Win Over Athletic Bilbao

According to Bolasport.com, Real Madrid have officially secured their place in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League after narrowly defeating Athletic Bilbao 1-0 in Week 32 of LaLiga.

The match, held at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, was decided by a late dramatic goal from Fede Valverde, sealing a vital win for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

The victory takes Los Blancos to 69 points — just four points behind Barcelona at the top of the standings.

LaLiga, like the Premier League, will have five representatives in next season’s Champions League. Madrid’s current position within the top five is therefore enough to guarantee their place in Europe’s most prestigious club competition.
