Salzburg and Brest are certainly not equal opponents for Real Madrid in the Champions League, but still these two teams must be taken seriously in the match. Especially Brest, they have been really good over the past 6 matches where they are ranked 7th with 1 loss and 1 draw and 4 wins.

Madrid must maintain consistency, especially facing the remaining 2 matches with their condition which is still not comfortable in terms of position, so full points must be achieved, especially since they are very favorites in these 2 matches.

Ancelotti must know what they have to do because their current focus is only to be able to secure full points so that their position is not bad to qualify even though they have to do it through the play-off path.
It is undeniable that these two clubs cannot be underestimated, especially since they must have the same target and desire to qualify (for Brest) and block other clubs from following Slazburg who are likely not to qualify so that in the end Ancelotti cannot underestimate them, especially when competing against Brest because they are really unpredictable at this time in the Champions League.

Real must first ensure that they qualify for the next round before targeting the final. The remaining two matches must be won, on paper Salzburg and Brest are not worthy opponents but this is the UCL competition where every weak team always provides tough resistance, Ancelotti must focus because it is not funny if a team as big as Real Madrid must fall in the first round, if you look at their current performance which is getting better I am quite sure that the two matches can be passed, besides this long break allows Ancelotti to prepare his team very carefully.

Indeed. Before Real Madrid expects to play in the final round, they must ensure they are qualified for the knock out round. At least, they need to qualify for play-offs round. Real Madrid isn't in the safe position in UCL table, they are almost out of the play-offs zone. It is quite unfortunate that the king of UCL performing badly in the league phase. Instead of automatically qualifying for the knockout round, they are barely not securing the play-off zone. However, they will be safe to go to play-off zone if they could beat Salzburg and Brest in the next 2 latest matches. I'm sure Ancelotti won't underestimate these teams, he knows smaller teams may surprise any team in UCL competition. Ancelotti has a lot of experience in UCL, he should understand the way to deal with the current condition of Real Madrid.

This sounds more realistic, Real Madrid really have to make sure of their place to be able to get a ticket to the last 16, because when the team is able to penetrate the last 16, usually they will continue to run non-stop to become an undefeated team and win the title.

Of course, facing FC Red Bull Salzburg and Stade Brestois 29 at the end of their match in the UCL preliminary round is not something that is easy for Real Madrid to win, especially since Real Madrid faces a fairly tight schedule, where in January 2025 alone they have to face 7 matches in different events, including 2 remaining matches in the Champions League preliminary round. and of course this is a fairly tough task for Anceloti, because he must be able to maintain the fitness of his players, because if not, a storm of injuries could hit Real Madrid again, which could make their position slump again.

Now in few days they are going to visit PSG which is having good squad, but their performance in Champions League is also not good can create problems for them but most chances we will have them in better position for stealing the game and staying in touch for next round right now chances are high for them to have good end of their season with good performance and consistency.

I like positivism in every sense of the word because obviously things will be focused in a good way , PSG has a lot of support, the bad thing about them is that they cannot Define and even if they need to, they have to do everything possible to do things well, so in this type of things we can say that PSG has no choice but to go out and win, and pray to God that they can get the results that suit them, in this sense, it is the only thing that can be expected, there is no other way.

In the first round of this season's Champions League, we did not see the expected good performance from Madrid. Even in La Liga, Real Madrid could not start well. Madrid's overall performance was a bit irregular since the beginning of the season. However, there is no doubt that Real Madrid is in great form at the moment. Madrid is able to play well in La Liga. At the same time, Real Madrid was able to defeat the strong Atalanta team in the last match of the Champions League. I would say that Real Madrid is one of the most worthy contenders for the Champions League title so far. Real Madrid still has a great chance of winning the Champions League title.

Real Madrid is one of the most deserving, but there are so many other teams who also deserve to win it. Real Madrid's main focus at the moment is not about the title at the end of the competition, but how they can qualify for the round of 16 after losing so many points. The only way is to win every remaining game, including the playoffs, but that is impossible for them due to their perceived weak opponents.

Salzburg and Brest are certainly not equal opponents for Real Madrid in the Champions League, but still these two teams must be taken seriously in the match. Especially Brest, they have been really good over the past 6 matches where they are ranked 7th with 1 loss and 1 draw and 4 wins.

I am also sure that Madrid will be able to get through this phase even though the play off. After entering the knockout stage, Madrid will be very serious about defeating their opponents.
But we must realize that the competition from the teams in the Champions League this season is quite tight. This season they may not be dominant enough, but if they make it to the final round, it is clear that hard work and a champion mentality are on them.

For La Liga, I think Real Madrid is still fine even though their position is not strong enough at the top of the standings, but for their position in the Champions League which is not in the top eight then at least it is a bad result for Real Madrid. But even so, Real Madrid can still guarantee to qualify for the play-off round. I personally do not doubt Real Madrid's chances in the Champions League, even though in this phase Real Madrid did not get good results, because Real Madrid has a very big track record in the Champions League.

But with Real Madrid's position like this, then I think it is also an attraction in itself because we will also always wait for the results of every match played by Real Madrid, of course it will be very impressive if Real Madrid still manages to advance further even though they failed to finish in the top eight.

Now all Real Madrid need is to secure a place to open up their chances of qualifying for the last 16 via the play-off.

Lately their performance has improved, they need to fight harder because when they qualify for the knock-out round they will face a stronger team.

The other two teams that Real Madrid must face in this standings are actually not that difficult and strong teams even though Brest is in a much better position than Real Madrid at this time. However, considering that Real Madrid must be able to secure their position in order to advance to the playoffs, of course they will do it very well and will not underestimate any opponent.

Madrid is a big team in the UCL and always appears professional and always tries its best to qualify for the next round and even tries to reach the final round.
Madrid also never underestimates any team because they are aware that the UCL is a prestigious competition that makes teams that look weak become stronger here. So in the remaining matches, Madrid really tries their best to qualify for the last 16 even though they have to go through the playoffs as others have said here.
Seeing Madrid's opponent, it seems easy for Ancelotti to provide the right strategy so that he can bring home full points from the remaining matches.

Real Madrid have performed poorly in the opening few matches of the Champions League, but they have bounced back. Maybe Barcelona won't do very well in the Champions League in the end but I think if Real Madrid can field every player in their starting XI they can beat any team in the Champions League. From Barcelona to Real Madrid, we have high expectations in the Champions League and Real Madrid knows very well that we have to do well in the Champions League, so if we trust Real Madrid, maybe they won't disappoint us. We will definitely want to see a good performance from Real Madrid in the upcoming Champions League matches. Since there are still good prospects and enough opportunities, I hope that Real Madrid will make good use of those opportunities.

I must admit that Madrid did not perform satisfactorily because they have not found their best format after bringing in Mbappe. We can understand that but there is no need to be surprised that no matter how bad Madrid is at the beginning of the season, they will slowly return to the right track. The Champions League is their playing field every season and everyone knows who the king of UCL is until now. Real Madrid success is hard to stop even in the midst of declining performance, Real Madrid can find their own way out.
They have a Champions League mentality that no other European club has. As Pep Guardiola said: If you want to win the Champions League you have to get rid of Real Madrid first.

They has wasted a lot of points in the semi league phase which has left them struggling to qualify for the play offs, indeed madrid's status as favourites in the UCL cannot be lost even though this season they are in bad shape, in my opinion, madrid just need to find their best form and also the return of many injured players will certainly allow them to re-enter the title race this season, but certainly now they must find a way to qualify for the knockout phase first and after that return can to show their strength to reach final again such as the previous seasons.

Madrid is already beginning to win their games and can be said that they are now getting to the point point where they can be referred to as a team getting back to their winning ways, they have so far probably won two games in a row already and so that is beginning to build some level of confidence on them from their fans who now believes and think they are in a very good position to be back on track and would most likely get wins soon and will even get to the point where they can see that they are back in the title race.

Ancelotti has started to perform well, and if they continue to do so, I am confident they will win the league title this season. I was quite impressed by their game against Valencia because when I read Vini Jr's book Red Card, I assumed that Real Madrid would draw or lose, but they really put pressure on Valencia and did not give up, achieving three points and topping the league table. Ancelotti will continue to win his matches and lead the league. Because Real Madrid has come back with a terrific performance, and I am confident that he will be very tough for Madrid to lose because any mistakes they make will allow Athletico Madrid to overtake them in the table. And the champions league the remaining two games that remine for Madrid, am sure they will definitely achieve three point in the games and automatically qualify to the next round of the ucl. Let see how the ucl will goes because even Manchester City as started coming back to there best form because they have started winning there games in the league.

Although Real Madrid have performed poorly in the opening few matches of the Champions League, their performance has gradually improved compared to before. But I think you might be expecting too much from Real Madrid, they are a very strong team but there is no guarantee that they will win this year's UEFA Champions League. Also you compared Barcelona and Real Madrid this season in the Champions League.

So far, in the number of matches that Barcelona and Real Madrid have played in this season's Champions League, Barcelona is ahead. Also predicted that Real Madrid can win the UEFA Champions League this season. Maybe you should remember that Liverpool also have a chance to win.

The most important thing is that Real wins, although these victories are not always easy for them, but they show their character and achieve such important victories. Despite all the difficulties, they manage to move on and the most important thing is that they have learned to play without Carvajal and Militao, although their defense is still not ideal. The next game will be with Salzburg, in this match they must win, the opponent is weak, with a weak defense.

A club who has won 13 games out of 19, drew 4 and lost two shouldn't be seen as a poor performing team. This is football and not handball. If Madrid should win every single game they play personally I will find the league boring. I mean there should be some draws, losses but what matters most is that the number of games won should be enough to earn them the title.

Mbappe spiced up the club. He is a winger who is converted to an top striker and he is doing great at that position. I mean not all players can adapt to new roles as perfect as Mbappe. On average he has scored 3.5 goals which is 9 goals since he was signed. What else do we want to prove his credibility.

Of course Barcelona has been playing very poorly lately, but I think they can overcome this in time. Barcelona is a team that has played very successful matches. We remember how they won against Real Madrid. So I think they can always be successful. They may have played badly in recent matches, but that doesn't mean they will always play badly.

They beat Real Madrid, and then what? They won a trophy?
This is exactly the problem with Barcelona in La Liga. The lads and fans maybe thought that it was all over after beat their Arch-rivals, not knowing they weren't even past halfway of the season. Look where they are today.

Champion's League is not won by one game. They have to perform all the way to the final whistle of the finals. IMO, I don't see them reaching even the finals.

You are absolutely right, playing one game well or winning a few games is not enough to win the Champions League. To win the CL you have to play consistently well every game and Barca is not consistent enough to win the CL. Unfortunately the same is true for Real Madrid at the moment. I don't think any team from Spain can win the CL this year.

Real Madrid have performed poorly in the opening few matches of the Champions League, but they have bounced back. Maybe Barcelona won't do very well in the Champions League in the end but I think if Real Madrid can field every player in their starting XI they can beat any team in the Champions League.

Two consecutive wins in La Liga are crucial, more than just boosting the players confidence, these victories have reignited their chances of retaining the trophy this season. Real Madrid is now in the right momentum to maintain their consistency, most of the key players are available again, and their next three domestic matches also look manageable. So if Ancelotti manages to maintain the team performance, I personally assume Real Madrid will be able to achieve full points when facing Salzburg and Brest. We are still in a very crucial stage of the League phase, all possibilities can still happen. Real Madrid must reach the round of 16 first, to get back on track in the hunt for trophies.
