Real Madrid – AS Monaco: a European night at the Bernabéu fans don’t want to miss

On Tuesday, 20 January 2026 at 21:00, Madrid will once again live to the rhythm of the Champions League, as Real Madrid welcome AS Monaco to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Matchday 7 of the 2025/2026 European season. This clash comes at the end of the league phase of the competition’s new format, at a moment when every point counts twice and the standings slowly crystallize—deciding who goes straight to the round of 16 and who must take the extra play-off route. Real Madrid, as the most decorated club in the history of European cups, almost always play at home with a win as the only acceptable outcome, while ambitious AS Monaco arrive from the Principality with a clear intention to surprise the favourites and cement their position among the elite. Precisely because of the mix of competition prestige, star quality on the pitch and the special Bernabéu atmosphere, massive interest is expected from fans from Spain, France and across Europe—so tickets and seats for this event are in huge demand. Anyone who wants to be part of this night should secure a place in the stands in good time and get timely information about buying tickets via the button that will be highlighted under the label ‘

’ immediately below the text.

What Matchday 7 of the new Champions League league phase means

The new Champions League introduced a format in which 36 clubs play in a single league, and each team has eight matches against different opponents—four at home and four away—instead of the former classic group of three opponents. In such a system, Matchday 7 is no longer “just another game,” but a turning point after which it becomes very clear who is fighting for the top places that lead directly to the round of 16, and who is seeking salvation through the play-off positions from 9th to 24th. Real vs Monaco in January can therefore be decisive for both teams: the hosts need to confirm their status as contenders for the very top of the table, while the visitors from the Principality look for points in these kinds of clashes that can bring them a historic step forward. That further boosts interest in tickets, because fans know they are not watching a “formality,” but a match that can very concretely determine what the knockout phase will look like. With the Bernabéu stands filled to the last seat and supporters arriving with tickets already purchased from different countries, this night promises an atmosphere reminiscent of the business end of the tournament—even though it is “only” a league-round fixture.

Real Madrid and their special bond with the Champions League

For decades, Real Madrid have carried the status of “kings of Europe,” and Champions League laurels have become an integral part of the club’s DNA, which is why every season in the elite competition also carries historical weight for this club. After a string of trophies in the last decade, fans are used to the team aiming for the very top in 2025/2026 as well, regardless of changes in the squad or on the bench. Over the years, the Bernabéu has witnessed countless comebacks, late goals and unforgettable nights that made Real a symbol of the competition, and it is precisely the Champions League that is the stage where the club’s ambitions are seen most clearly. In this context, the home match against AS Monaco is not merely a routine episode, but a key step in confirming that Real, even in the new competition format, remain a standard presence among the top eight. Fans who buy tickets for this clash are not buying just another game, but a chance to follow from the front row the continuation of a European story that has been written for decades.

Real’s stars on the Bernabéu pitch

Real’s roster still features players who can change the course of a match with a single action—from creative midfielders who dictate tempo to rapid wingers who “stretch” opposing defences. With his surges from deep and sense of space, Jude Bellingham adds an extra dimension in attack, while Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo on the flanks threaten with dribbles, runs in behind and constant positional rotation—an extremely serious test for Monaco’s defence. In midfield they often rely on a blend of workhorses and technicians who can both control possession and press aggressively, and the experience of players accustomed to the pressure of big European nights remains one of Real’s greatest advantages. With recognizable goalkeepers and a reliable back line, the hosts have a team spine that gives fans confidence that every spell of possession at the Bernabéu can turn into a potential chance. That is exactly why tickets become more sought-after the moment such clashes are announced: spectators want to see live how these footballers, under the Champions League floodlights, do the job they were made for.

AS Monaco: a talented challenger from the Principality

AS Monaco is a club whose name automatically evokes memories of spectacular European seasons—from the 2004 final to the 2017 semi-final—and in the new Champions League format they once again want to play the role of a “dark horse.” Today’s team combines an experienced core with a number of young, explosive players, especially forwards able to attack the space behind the back line, as well as wingers who cut inside brilliantly and open corridors for teammates. Forwards such as Folarin Balogun or Breel Embolo, and creators like Takumi Minamino, Aleksandr Golovin or Maghnes Akliouche, give Monaco an arsenal of solutions that can punish even the slightest opponent’s lapse. In recent seasons, Monaco have produced notable performances against renowned opponents in European competitions, showing they cope well in away environments under high pressure. Fans who buy tickets for this clash are not coming only to watch Real Madrid, but also an ambitious opponent that has already proven it can topple bigger club giants when given the chance.

Tactical battle: Real’s possession versus Monaco’s transitions

From a tactical standpoint, Real Madrid will likely control possession in front of their fans, trying to wear the opponent down through long attacks and midfield rotation, while Monaco will look for opportunities in fast breaks after winning the ball. The home side is used to setups in which three midfielders cover huge spaces and the full-backs push high, creating overloads on the flanks and opening the option of cut-backs to the edge of the penalty area. Monaco, on the other hand, could respond with a compact block and aggressive pressing in midfield, with quick switches of play toward their most dangerous attackers, who threaten from half-counters or pure counters the moment Real lose the ball. It is precisely in those moments that spectators in the stands—already holding secured tickets—most often rise from their seats, because one misplaced pass or a timely interception can, in a few seconds, turn relatively calm possession into a clear chance at either end. A high-intensity match is expected, in which defensive concentration and ruthlessness in the final third will decide whether tickets for this clash bring the crowd a home celebration or a huge away surprise.

The Bernabéu after renovation: a modern football temple and a stage for spectacle

The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, at Avenida de Concha Espina 1 in Madrid, has after an extensive renovation turned into one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the world, with a modern façade, a retractable roof and infrastructure designed for spectacles throughout the year. A capacity of more than 80,000 seats, a new stand layout and impressive lighting effects further enhance the Champions League matchday experience, so it is no surprise that tickets for such clashes sell out extremely quickly. Fans who arrive early, with previously purchased tickets, have the chance to soak up the atmosphere around the stadium—from chants and flags to improvised fan zones in the surrounding streets. Inside the stadium, the view of a perfectly prepared pitch and the city panorama in the background creates the impression that you are in the middle of a football “theatre” where 90 minutes fly by in an instant. If you want to secure your tickets for this event and watch Real vs Monaco from the front row, it is advisable to reserve them as soon as the option to buy via the button below becomes available.

Madrid in January: a city break with a football treat

January in Madrid brings cooler, but mostly dry and sunny days, with average daytime temperatures around 5 to 10 degrees, which makes the city pleasant for sightseeing before and after the match. Precisely in this month the city is not flooded with tourists as in spring or summer, so fans travelling for Real vs Monaco can combine the football spectacle with a relaxed visit to museums, squares and parks without big crowds. A visit to the Prado Museum, a walk through Parque del Retiro, or an evening stroll along Gran Vía and Puerta del Sol are an ideal addition to a day whose highlight is arriving at the Bernabéu. Those planning a trip a few days before the match or staying after it can easily browse accommodation options in the city and choose the location that suits them best—whether close to the stadium or in the city centre. To make organizing your trip easier, it is useful to research in advance accommodation offers in Madrid for fans and align arrival, rest and match ticket purchases into one well-planned package.

How to get to the Bernabéu and practical tips for matchday

Santiago Bernabéu is one of the best-connected stadiums in Europe, located along Madrid’s major boulevard Paseo de la Castellana, and the simplest arrival for most fans is on Metro line 10 to the station named after the stadium itself. Besides the metro, a number of city bus lines also serve that part of town, so fans can choose the mode of transport that suits them best depending on where they are staying. Because of increased crowds on matchday, arriving at least one and a half to two hours before kick-off is recommended, so entering the stadium goes smoothly without rushing and standing in long lines—especially for those who buy tickets shortly before travelling and are visiting Madrid for the first time. It is also practical to check in advance where your gate is, which security checks are in force, and what the recommended bag and backpack size is, so that part of the fan experience doesn’t get spent on leaving items at cloakrooms. If you still haven’t chosen where to stay, a look at accommodation near the match venue can help you settle in a location from which you can easily reach both the city centre and the Bernabéu—especially important if you plan a late return after the match.

Fan atmosphere: from Madrid’s streets to the final whistle

On a Champions League matchday, Madrid moves to a special rhythm: from the afternoon hours, streets around the stadium and in the city’s inner centre fill with shirts, scarves and flags, while fan songs can be heard from bars, squares and metro stations. Real’s supporters traditionally gather at key points of the city before heading toward the Bernabéu, while Monaco fans often arrive in organized blocks and create their own “oases” in the centre, where they get to know the city before going to the stadium. As kick-off approaches, fan processions move toward Concha Espina avenue and the surrounding streets, and the atmosphere intensifies with every step closer to the stadium—especially for those who already have tickets safely tucked in their pockets. After the match, whether celebrating a win or mourning a missed opportunity, fan life continues in local bars and restaurants, where key moments are retold deep into the night. Exactly that blend of football and city life makes buying tickets for such matches something far more than an ordinary transaction, because the tickets become an entry into an all-day experience that goes beyond the 90 minutes of play.

Accommodation and travel planning for fans from outside Madrid

For fans arriving in Madrid from other parts of Spain or from abroad, a key part of planning is accommodation near major transport hubs or the stadium, so that arrival, departure and matchday can be coordinated easily. Many choose hotels and apartments in the Chamartín or Tetuán districts, from which the Bernabéu can be reached on foot or with a short metro ride, while others prefer staying in the historic centre and travelling to the stadium by public transport. Given that the match is played in January, when the tourist season is calmer, it is possible to find a varied offer of rooms and apartments across different price ranges, especially if you book a bit earlier. It is advisable already when choosing accommodation to check how much time you need to reach the stadium in the evening and what the return after the match looks like—especially if you are counting on a late arrival back at the hotel. For easier orientation and comparison of options, fans may find helpful a review of accommodation for fans on matchday, so they can simultaneously secure a comfortable stay in the city and enough time to collect tickets, get to the stadium and return relaxed after the match.

Why tickets for Real Madrid – AS Monaco are more sought-after than ever

The Real vs Monaco clash at the Santiago Bernabéu perfectly combines all the elements fans look for in a Champions League match: top players on both sides, the importance of points in the new league format, and the unique atmosphere of a stadium that is synonymous with Europe’s elite. Real enter the match with the reputation of a club that in this competition almost regularly reaches the final stages, while Monaco arrive as a dangerous challenger who in the past has shown more than once that they can “shock” higher-ranked opponents in knockout ties and league phases. Given that it is Matchday 7 in the 2025/2026 season, this match can easily decide whether Real confirm their status as a safe round-of-16 participant or head into the final matchday under additional pressure, while for Monaco any positive result would bring huge self-confidence and potentially historic success. Exactly that combination of sporting stakes and spectacle in the stands is why ticket sales move fast, and seats for this event become a kind of souvenir of an unforgettable night in Madrid. If you want to be part of that story, the best advice is to secure your tickets in time and, when the button marked with the code ‘
