From the past to the present and in the future, Real Madrid will remain an absolute team that should be considered dangerous. Not because of the players or coaches because of Real Madrid's big name as the strongest team in the world. Moreover, Jude Bellingham has chosen the right club to play for Real Madrid this season, of course this will be a calculation for every opponent in the UCL.

That's why I'm a little surprised that someone doubts Real Madrid's ability against Braga, it's true that in football anything can happen, but if you look at the strength of the team, it seems a bit confusing if someone believes that Braga can beat Real Madrid.

Real Madrid does not win any matches and titles because of the big name and history of the club, but it is because of the strategy of the coach and the quality of the players. If they won it all because of the club's big name and history, then Milan and Manchester United should always be able to dominate the Premier League, Serie A and Champions League because of their name.

Real Madrid is a big team with good squad depth. Look and compare with the squad depth of other teams so you have to say one fact that Real Madrid did that because of the coach and the squad.

I agree with you Falconer that it is the quality of coach and players that has made Real Madrid the best club in the world, ever since history. I could remember was I was still in college years back, I and my friend, we so call Real Madrid an all star club because you must have build yourself and make name before you can play in Real Madrid.

The have the money and they know what they want, so they spend their money for the best players and coach to enable them be as successful as this. If you also look at this right now, they are still following their same old pattern, which is getting the best because they have seen the benefits of having the best players in their club.

I think that Kevin De Bruyne's absence will be felt even more in the Champions League. I mean that the group stage is comfortable for them of course as they don't have very tough opponents. But when they face title contenders in the later stages they would feel the absence of him surely.

Because there has been a really great cooperation between him and Erling Haaland especially. He has been creating so many goal chances for Haaland so far. He is an amazing player with his passes and impressive shots as well. Foden is trying to make up for De Bruyne but their playing styles are very different. Foden is more selfish than De Bruyne.

In my opinion, his absence is noticed in the EPL and would definitely be noticed in the champions league. The group stages were easy enough as they didn’t face a major threat that could hinder them from reaching the finals and possibly winning it too.

I think Haaland is not finding it that easy to score a lot of goals as one would expect. De Bruyne, who would have located and given Haaland some beautiful passes to enable the lad score goals is out of action.
Both players are in sync on the pitch and that coordination between them and in general, the rest of the team yields positive results. I have little doubts that Man City, without De Bruyne is still a formidable opponent.

Manchester City without Debruyne can still twist out wins abut Haaland won't get enough goals,but If Rodri is not in the team,Manchester City is so shapeless and naked.These two players are unarguably the two most important players at Etihad stadium,and I think Pep Guardiola knows that now.Haaland has not been able to get many goals in the champions league,and without Debruyne giving him finishing passes that will lead to goal,but is unavailability has made Haaland see no goal.

However,let's hope to see if Manchester City will start performing well the moment Debruyne and Rodri are fully active and engaged in their team.

De Bruyne is a key player obviusly but i think Manchester City can sub him very well, in fact i really think this injury helped Manchester City thinking in the future of the team. Now they know they can play very good without him, so we can some news in the next summer transfers window.

Exactly. Real Madrid could win some UCL trophies because they had good coaches who applied great tactics/strategies and they had quality players in their squad, too. Real Madrid couldn't win any title if they only rely on their big name. Cheesy

It was, it is different now. You can state it when Real Madrid still had Ronaldo, Benzema, Ramos, and other top players. At that time, Real Madrid was also managed by Zidane. But when Zidane left Real Madrid and some key players decided to move, Real Madrid never had good squad depth (especially for the attackers). Well, if you look at the current Real Madrid squad, they have bad squad depth both in attacking and defense line.

I respect how great Bellingham is to Real Madrid recently, he has become a great asset in Spain but we don't know rival teams that they will meet in knockout stage, quarter final and semi finals. Not to forget that some players are bound to injury. Above all, I will love to see Bellingham win this season Champions League, it will bring a trend to search for more English player just the way Haaland change Manchester City winning mentality last season and now.

Jude Bellingham most valuable transfer player above 100 million euro depend on his performance with Real Madrid keep consistency in domestic league and champion league. Recently not injury he still can show the best perform and no doubt for Madrid will automatically qualify to 16 round in Champion League. Depend on finish standings position, in knockout round Real Madrid face weakness or strong opponent team but current performance won 2 of 2 matches seems not difficult for Madrid will settle first standings position above Napoli.

Automatically on knockout round will face teams on other stage who finish on 2nd standings but I don't think Madrid will eliminated early in Champion League depend they are favorite team list for winning UEFA Champion League tittle in this season.

Manchester City may be interested in Toni Kross. He is a great midfielder. However, Manchester City's midfield is already much stronger now. So I don't think it would be very profitable to add Kross, who is almost 34 years old, to the team. Talented midfielders like De Bruyne, Silva and Phillips are already in the City squad. If City want to plan long term then they should add a young talented midfielder to the squad. The addition of Toni Kroos to the squad may have strengthened City's performance. But I doubt if he can give service to the team for more than 2/3 years.

The new interests me and since Toni Kroos is a player that has worked with Pep Guardiola with Bayern Munich, moving to Manchester City have a good possibility of happening.
Being 34 means nothing. Toni Kroos, still has that ability to break down defense with his passes. That is something he can bring into Pep Guardiola's side. Besides, they've lost Gundogan and since left, no player has met his standards.

Pep Guardiola already brought in a yougin from Manchester City Academy he ( Lewis ,) is already doing well. Did had a good game against Arsenal but no matured enough in midfied.

I instead believe that Guardiola will be interested in young players that has long future to spend in the club. I also do not think that Guardiola will allow players like Gundigon and Mahrez to leave the club and in the end bring player as old as Toni Kross to play with him. His experience with Toni in Bayern is old enough to be forgotten and dwell on new people and new challenges.
In the other hand, Toni wanted to end his career in Madrid but was persuaded by Madrid management to help the club to play one more season. I am surprised Toni wants to continue playing. It is good and passionate although

I also think Guardiola will plan for the long term. He is an experienced coach. He will not waste money. Manchester City will have to spend a lot of money to add Toni Kroos to the squad. And at the same time it is not sure whether Toni Kross will be able to adapt himself to the Premier League. The Premier League game and the La Liga game are completely different. And so I would say Guardiola should add young talented players to the squad instead of investing money on Toni Kross. As a result, if the young player adapts himself to the team, he will be able to support City for a long time. Adding Toni Kroos to the squad at a high price for only 2 seasons would not be the right decision. However, Manchester City can add Toni Kroos to the squad if the transfer fee is low or a free transfer.

Toni kroos to Manchester city is not possible, it's too much of a tall dream, pep guardiola will not sign Toni, especially considering his age. i agree they will go for a long term solution, at least a much younger person. Kroos will be too much on expenses. Though Manchester city midfield is not doing bad, they just have to hold on tight till Kevin De Bruyne comes back from injury to strengthen it.

Even if Pep wanted Toni, I don't think Toni would want them. Toni is now about to become a legendary player for Real Madrid. He is a team player who, along with Modric, has achieved significant success in Real Madrid's midfield for a long time. I think he will probably end his career in Real Madrid.

It looks like the group leader in Group C has already been decided. Grin

Because getting a win in Naples was going to determine the leader in the group technically for Real Madrid. Because I expect Real Madrid to win all the remaining Braga and Union Berlin games ahead above all else. After that I guess that Real Madrid wouldn't surprise me by losing the lead to Napoli in Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid seem more credible to me to play bigger this season. I'm saying this even though they had Benzema last season.

Because there is a much bigger progress in their performance compared to that season. Bellingham has changed this team a lot too but I like the team effort more at the same time.

Real Madrid is having a great season, right? It's like they switched on and became a powerhouse. After the win in Naples, they seem to control Group C. Yes, I'm betting on Madrid beating Braga and Union Berlin, but football can deliver curveballs

Their season performance amazes me. They seem to have changed post-Benzema. I agree with your Bellingham assessment. He's so important to the squad, and Ancelotti controls him well. But it's a team game, and the spirit is strong. If this streak continues, who knows how high they'll go?

When it comes to the highest level they can reach in the Champions League I feel confident about them to be one of the biggest candidates for the finale already. Bookmakers are also thinking the same as me that they have put Real Madrid among top 3 title contenders by odds. They are right behind Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

Manchester City are of course the biggest favourite. Especially after winning the title finally last season they are expected to win a back-to-back title by bookmakers.

However I'm not sure yet about which one of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid is one step forward to be a finalist together with Manchester City. Huh

I like everyone's confidence in Manchester City, as anything can happen. If their group exit is already clear, then at any stage further on they can face any team that can beat them. So far, I myself believe that MC can repeat last season's success this season, because they look just as good as ever

Man City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen are equal in terms of opportunities, but what about the chances of teams like Barcelona, Inter Milan or Arsenal. Of course, many did not expect Inter to be in last season final with Man City, indeed it was not an ideal final in the sense that it did not bring together previously favorite clubs. I think in terms of history, mentality and squad depth, City, Madrid and Munchen are indeed superior. However, it doesn't really create a gap with what Barcelona and Inter have, for Arsenal I think Arteta squad also deserves to be on this list because it has the attributes needed, Arsenal only lacks one thing, namely the UCL trophy.
Madrid, City and Munchen deserve to be included in the ideal final category this season, but for now we certainly realize that it is still too early to say. The determination to qualify for the last 16 is still ongoing, with four matches remaining. Who knows, the ideal match might happen earlier, in the quarter-finals or semifinals, it's all very possible.

I would say the strongest teams in this year's Champions League are Bayern Munich and Manchester City. However, City's main midfielder is injured. I doubt De Bruyne will be able to play consistently well without him.
I can't find any weakness in Bayern Munich's squad. Their defense, midfield and attack are very strong. They have a squad worthy of winning the Champions League title.
Arsenal, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Barcelona are not weak teams. These teams also have the ability to win the Champions League title. The Champions League is very competitive. It is very difficult to predict which team will be the champions. No one would have guessed that we would see Inter Milan in the final last season. So while Bayern Munich and City are very strong, Madrid, Arsenal, and Barcelona also have the potential to win the title.

Wow is it a surprise that there are still people who doubt the quality of Real Madrid, despite the fact that Real Madrid are on fire at the moment. I don't know, on what basis you doubt Real Madrid because after all, Real Madrid are unbeaten in the two matches that have been played in this group phase. While about Braga, the truth is that Braga only got one win and one loss. Also, last season Scudetto winner Napoli was beaten by Real Madrid at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. So yeah, it's funny if you think Braga has the ability to beat Real Madrid or draw.

From the past to the present and in the future, Real Madrid will remain an absolute team that should be considered dangerous. Not because of the players or coaches because of Real Madrid's big name as the strongest team in the world. Moreover, Jude Bellingham has chosen the right club to play for Real Madrid this season, of course this will be a calculation for every opponent in the UCL.

I don't find that convincing because of the name, not like 10 years ago when you hear names like red devils, the blues, gunners that use to scared other teams. They have built much more confident within their name and self and that's why you see minor club beats old teams in a league. Like for instance Inter made it out of the group stage but Barcelona that are know revival of Real Madrid didn't and they even won Laliga that same season, you see how non-linear football is sometimes.

I respect how great Bellingham is to Real Madrid recently, he has become a great asset in Spain but we don't know rival teams that they will meet in knockout stage, quarter final and semi finals. Not to forget that some players are bound to injury. Above all, I will love to see Bellingham win this season Champions League, it will bring a trend to search for more English player just the way Haaland change Manchester City winning mentality last season and now.

Since Jude Bellingham has improved the formation of Real Madrid to be a better one, let Ancelotti not build the Real Madrid winning to be on Jude Bellingham the same way he did when Benzema was playing for Real Madrid. By January, Real Madrid needs at the very least sign additional strikers in case Jude Bellingham sustains injuries before or during a Real Madrid match.

Real Madrid would probably prefer to bring home either the LaLiga or Champions League title this season. That will fall on the entire team, not just one individual. The entire team should be prepared for the important games that are coming because it won't be simple for only Jude Bellingham to carry them through.

Jude Bellingham has demonstrated to the club that he is worth counting on, as seen by his performance for the team since joining them this season. He is not a striker, but he scores like one, and he always does it when they most need the goal to win a game. Real Madrid's midfield is set for the time being, and all they need now is a striker, who should get before the end of the season. It's now a family affair, with Real Madrid sending scouts to keep an eye on Jude Bellingham's brother, Jobe Bellingham. They appear to want him on their team as well.

It's easy to guess because of the four teams in Group C, there are only two teams that have quite interesting strengths and experience in the Champions League. So there is a greater possibility for Real Madrid and Napoli to qualify for the next round if the two teams can continue to win in the next match.

Real Madrid and Napoli are the two strongest teams in that group, and they have a better chance of progressing to the next round than the remaining two teams, who are weaker and have less experience. Union Berlin are also expected to qualify for the Europa League if they finish third, ahead of Braga. Braga may be productive in their Portuguese league, but they lack the strength to compete with the teams in the Champions League.

SC Braga, who in their next match in Group C will face Real Madrid, will likely have a little difficulty winning even though the match will be played at the Estadio Municipal de Braga.

Braga at home might also make it difficult for Real Madrid to get full points, although in terms of quality and experience Real Madrid is much better, but Braga is not bad either. In my personal opinion, this match is actually difficult to predict, although also I actually support Real Madrid to win, but anyway Braga is not an easy opponent to beat. Especially, Braga will face a big team at home, that will motivate them to show their best performance.

Wow is it a surprise that there are still people who doubt the quality of Real Madrid, despite the fact that Real Madrid are on fire at the moment. I don't know, on what basis you doubt Real Madrid because after all, Real Madrid are unbeaten in the two matches that have been played in this group phase. While about Braga, the truth is that Braga only got one win and one loss. Also, last season Scudetto winner Napoli was beaten by Real Madrid at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. So yeah, it's funny if you think Braga has the ability to beat Real Madrid or draw.

From the past to the present and in the future, Real Madrid will remain an absolute team that should be considered dangerous. Not because of the players or coaches because of Real Madrid's big name as the strongest team in the world. Moreover, Jude Bellingham has chosen the right club to play for Real Madrid this season, of course this will be a calculation for every opponent in the UCL.

That's why I'm a little surprised that someone doubts Real Madrid's ability against Braga, it's true that in football anything can happen, but if you look at the strength of the team, it seems a bit confusing if someone believes that Braga can beat Real Madrid.

Real Madrid seem more credible to me to play bigger this season. I'm saying this even though they had Benzema last season.

Because there is a much bigger progress in their performance compared to that season. Bellingham has changed this team a lot too but I like the team effort more at the same time.

Since Jude Bellingham has improved the formation of Real Madrid to be a better one, let Ancelotti not build the Real Madrid winning to be on Jude Bellingham the same way he did when Benzema was playing for Real Madrid. By January, Real Madrid needs at the very least sign additional strikers in case Jude Bellingham sustains injuries before or during a Real Madrid match.

Real Madrid would probably prefer to bring home either the LaLiga or Champions League title this season. That will fall on the entire team, not just one individual. The entire team should be prepared for the important games that are coming because it won't be simple for only Jude Bellingham to carry them through.

Real madrid is always well prepared to face any match. It doesn't even matter how strong its opponent is but madrid will always try to beat it, real madrid was the strongest team in the world after manchester city. It's also king of UCL.
No doubt if real madrid will always able to beat its opponent away or home. Real madrid is now having very good materials to win UCL again.

Just because this club has lost benzema and it doesn't mean if real madrid will not able to reach its golden time again. The entire team is ready to face another strong club in UCL. The only main focus to get a backup for bellingham.
I know this is the hardest task but it must be done by real madrid.

We don't know if bellingham can also suffer injury anytime.

Though Karim Benzema isn't still playing for Real Madrid, the Spanish giants have been stronger than they were last season. They're currently at the top of the Spanish La Liga standings as well as the top of their group in the UEFA Champions League.
Jude Bellingham has been in the form of his life and doesn't look like a player who's gonna drop from form anytime soon. Against Braga, Real Madrid are very likely to win the game as they're better in terms of quality players as well as in performance.

The weird thing about Bellingham is his age. When you watch him play you could think that he has been a superstar for a decade, but he is onl getting started. All the time I thought that his performance, and especially his efficiency, must decrease at some point, but he keeps scoring goals and he keeps being the decisive player. This is by no means normal. This guy is rocking Real Madrid at the moment.

Ancelotti has managed to adjust the strategy for his team after he lost his best center forward. Bellingham's arrival has required Ancelotti to use a different formation compared to last season, where so far they have used a formation often called a false nine with 4-3-1-2. Real Madrid play well with that formation and they have won many matches, even Bellingham, who plays as an attacking midfielder, contributes like a center forward.

I mostly also notice Jude Bellingham attacking from the left side of the attack and push forward. He also does not exactly play as a false nine but have a knack to always pop up in dangerous situations to find a way to get a goal. That is the same knack that Gundogan had at City when he always popped up to score very important goals for the club, while not particularly playing an attacking role.

I doubt Pep would give much thought about bringing in Toni Kroos to the club. He’s no doubt a superb player with a lot of experience under his belt. But like you noted, he may be thinking about retirement having had a successful career.

I do not see City pushing this transfer but if they do it will be a dream deal for both Kroos and Real Madrid.
