In terms of mentality, Real Madrid have a mentality above the average of other teams in the Champions League, so almost every season they are one of the favorites to be in the final match, and believe it or not when they are already in the final they are a very difficult team to beat. Leipzig have a chance of beating Real Madrid, but it's true that their chances are no greater than Real Madrid's.
Ancelotti is still looking for a defender to sign, and he reportedly wants Varane in the squad. They will also be looking for a striker to sharpen up their attack, and they are currently lacking a striker who can capitalize on every opportunity they get.
Yes, you said it right, he has the winning mentality, he has the mentality of thinking in terms of objectives and priorities. Clearly an event like the Champions League has priority over La Liga, for many reasons that we have always discussed: prestige and money.
A well-established team and a far-sighted coach like Ancellotti know this well and evaluate it well. For me it is one of the strongest teams at European level.
Real Madrid has shown interest in winning numerous trophies this season, and we can see that they always give it their all to advance to the semi-finals or final stage of the competition. As a result, let's just assume that Real Madrid will be in the final zone of the Champions League this season. Although I am aware that some teams, such as Manchester City and Bayern Munich, are capable of performing well as well, I believe that this season, based on how each team is playing, Real Madrid is prepared to advance far in the Champions League. In their previous meeting in the semifinals, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid, but I believe this season will be too tough for Manchester City.
Real Madrid will play Leipzig very soon, and it is already expected that Real Madrid will win. By then, the players from Real Madrid will be in good enough shape to defeat any opponent they face. As for Ancelotti, I think he is an excellent coach, but occasionally he makes substitutions without thinking things through, which has an impact on the team.
