Real Madrid's victory went as predicted. They can easily finish the resistance given by Frankfurt. Alaba and Benzema were the goalscorers in this win. And once again Benzema can play well, he showed that he still deserves to occupy the position of Real Madrid front line. This is a signal, that Benzema will return to being a frightening figure up front.
Talking about Real Madrid, it can't be separated from the figure of their striker named Karim Benzema,
when he is fit and able to play I don't think Real Madrid will have too much of a problem but it will be different when Benzema is injured and Real Madrid don't have a suitable replacement.
We'll see if Benzema gets injured then Real Madrid will really have a hard time scoring goals
Real Madrid won last season,but this season might be difficult for them to retain the UEFA Champions league tittle because most of the teams in the different leagues have bought players from the transfer market,knowing fully well that the season will be more competitive than before,but Real madrid have not done anything at all,they have not made a marquee signing that will boost the morals of the team,although they've not sold any key player that will affect them.But they still need to sign players to be able to compete with Barca,Bayern,Mancity,Liverpool,Totthenham,Chelsea,and PSG.
I think that Real is not any weaker than it was last season and they are again favorites in all competitions.
I would even say that they are stronger than last season because all the key players from last season have remained, and some other very high-quality footballers like Rudiger or Tchouameni have joined.
I wouldn't say that Real have any problems with team morale, desire to succeed or anything else.
They have a history of success, they know how to get results and obviously in recent years they have that famous x-factor needed to win in the end, which other teams still don't have, like PSG or Manchester City, even though they spend a lot more money on players.
Favorites in all competitions? In Spain I don't know right now, it seems like Real Madrid might have the best team but first we would have to see how things develop for Barcelona.
In the Champions League, however, I totally disagree. How can you say that Real Madrid is better than Manchester City? Did you forget how Real Madrid won their last CL trophy? The game against PSG and City? That won't happen again. They turned these games around with a lot of luck. Against PSG Donnaruma ruined it. If he doesn't make the mistake PSG is going to beat Real Madrid relatively easily.
The header against Manchester City in the final minutes was even deflected from another player, then fell onto the head of the Real player and from there took the perfect curve and landed in the back of the net. I am sure this isn't going to repeat that way. In both matchups against PSG and Man City, Real Madrid was clearly the weaker team.
I think that this year you got to beat Manchester City in order to win the trophy. They will be on fire.
Manchester City may have better players but that doesn't mean they have a better team.
Real has something that Manchester City and PSG doesn't have, which is the habit of winning, enormous self-confidence and faith and determination until the last moment of the match.
PSG and Manchester City players are under huge pressure every season to win the Champions League and every season the pressure only increases, and under such huge pressure mistakes also happen, like in the matches against Real.
Real players handle pressure much better and it shows in all their key games in the Champions League, not just last season.
It is pointless to consider all their victories solely as luck. Luck can offer you an opportunity, but it depends only on your quality whether you will know how to use it.
It was the typical Real Madrid and Frankfurt didn't really have many chances.
