La Liga giant Real Madrid will go to Central Asian powers to UEFA Champions League, sparking heated discussions, fans: Chinese fans are blessed

In the early morning of August 29, 2025, the draw results of the Champions League round of 36 leagues were released. Real Madrid drew a team from the country's Asian team away, which is the Almaty Keilat team of Kazakhstan, a major country in Central Asia.

Real Madrid crosses more than 8,000 kilometers from Spain to Kazakhstan. It is reported that it will take 10 hours and 50 minutes to fly. This is a real expedition. You should know that Kazakhstan is adjacent to our China, so Real Madrid is about to fly from Europe to East Asia.

There is indeed no problem with Kazakhstan belonging to Asia, but when they join UEFA, they may feel that the football level in Asia is too low, so joining UEFA can improve when competing with European strong teams, just like Australia has added football to the AFC.

For Real Madrid to go to Kazakhstan, it also sparked heated discussions among fans.

Fan 1 said: I have come from all the way, so come to China by the way.

Fan 2 said: We have been in less than 2 hours and didn't expect that there will be a chance to see Real Madrid.

Fan 3 said: Before the draw, many Xinjiang fans hoped that Real Madrid and Almaty Keilat would be in the same group so that Xinjiang can watch the game by car. It really came true and the dream came true.

Fan 4 said: If you say that Real Madrid was not arranged, I don’t believe it at all.

Fan 5 said: Chinese fans are blessed.
