In the 1/8 final, Real Madrid will play against Juventus, who is the second in Group G. The team from Riyadh, which is the second in the same group, qualified by finishing second and will face Manchester City in the first round of the knockout stage. 

After the first two rounds of the H group, Real Madrid had one win and one draw, accumulating 4 points and maintaining a significant goal difference, thus topping the table and securing the top spot. In this game, a draw would be enough to secure a place in the next round. The starting lineup for Real Madrid included Vinicius, Gonzalo-Garcia, and Balvede as the three forwards. Guelair and Belinherm formed the midfield duo. The defense was composed of Arnold on the right, Fran-Garcia on the left, Ludiig and Wason in the center, and Courtois at the goal. 

At the 15th minute, Real Madrid got an open-air kick from the left side of the field. Guilherme took the kick and sent a cross, but the force was too strong and it went directly out of the penalty area. No one was in position to receive the ball at the back post. At the 18th minute, Balvede made a tackle in the midfield and then passed the ball directly. Vinicius stopped the ball in the left side of the penalty area, then cut across and took a shot at an angle, but it was blocked by the opposing defender and went out of the penalty area. At the 20th minute, Vinicius's one-on-one shot against the opposing goalkeeper was blocked. 

In the 27th minute, Salzburg launched a counterattack. Leina delivered a cross from the right side, and Neynne received the ball in the penalty area, then took a step forward and shot with his left foot towards the far corner. The ball slightly missed the left goalpost. In the 38th minute, Real Madrid delivered a cross from the right side, and Vinicius, who was close to the goal, failed to hit the target with his shot. 

In the 40th minute, Bellinelli made a precise pass from the backfield. Vinicius quickly advanced and received the ball, then took a shot from the penalty area line, hitting the ball hard and sending it into the net. Real Madrid 1-0. 

In the 3rd minute of the injury time in the first half, the Real Madrid midfielder made a direct pass. Vinicius made the run and kicked the ball with his heel in front of the goal. Balvede followed up and scored a shot, giving Real Madrid a 2-0 lead. Real Madrid led 2-0 in the first half. 

In the second half, Salzburg made two substitutions. Dagim and Kehlho replaced Diambu and Ratkov. In the 50th minute, Salzburg sent a long pass from the left side. The newly substituted Dagim broke through Arnold and shot towards the bottom corner, but the ball hit the crossbar. Two minutes later, again it was Dagim who took a shot from the left side of the penalty area, but the shot went slightly over the crossbar. 

At the 54th minute, Balvede took a ball outside the penalty area, stopped it with his right foot, then changed to his left foot to shoot. The ball slightly went over the crossbar. At the 60th minute, Vinicius made a diagonal pass, and Gonzalo-Garcia shot in the middle of the penalty area but missed the target with insufficient force. The goalkeeper of the opposing team caught the ball. At the 63rd minute, Salzburg made a cross from the right side, and Kehl, who was unmarked in the middle of the penalty area, shot but the ball went high. One minute later, Balvede received a cross from his teammate and took a shot with his head, but it was slightly off target. 

At the 66th minute, a corner kick from the left side by Kyle Gough was delivered into the box. A shot from the right side of the box by Baudouin was blocked by Belinherm at the penalty area. At the 77th minute, an overhead pass from Arnold to the right side led to a run by Fran-Garcia in the left corner of the box. However, he overstepped the ball and it went out of bounds. At the 83rd minute, Rodriogo took a dribble from the left side of the box, made several sideways movements, and then shot with his right foot but the shot went wide. 

In the 84th minute, a long pass was made from the backline of Real Madrid. The opposing defender touched it, but Gonzalo Garcia quickly rushed forward to intercept the ball and then dribbled into the penalty area. He then took a shot from the penalty spot, shooting towards the far corner and scoring. Real Madrid was 3-0 ahead. Eventually, Real Madrid won a 3-0 victory over Salzburg.
