With win and lost part of the game, but sometimes we have bad time which bring worst for some teams like we have currently with both Manchester clubs even Manchester United is having time in struggle but Manchester City which is having all equipment's for fighting falling due to lack of confidence and lack of motivation even all are giving their best but still fail to have changed in fortune which is surely miserable but as we have reaction from them and their coach it is looking positive, and we can expect them to fightback soon with bang.

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.

Yes, that's right. Real Madrid's journey this season in the UCL league has not been so smooth, besides the many injured players, the Real Madrid squad has also not found chemistry with each other, especially at the beginning, Mbappe had difficulty adapting to his teammates. However, with Ancelotti's patience who continues to motivate his players to slowly recover, Real Madrid's performance has improved and there has been development, even in the last few matches, Real Madrid's goal productivity has increased.

With Real Madrid's current condition, I am sure that in the remaining two matches they can beat RB Salzburg and Brest. And it is true as you said, Real Madrid if they have entered the last 16 will be difficult to beat, because Real Madrid always has a better mentality when they are in the knockout stages. However, despite the many facts and the reality that Real Madrid is too strong to be defeated in the UCL, on the other hand Real Madrid never underestimates its opponents.

Real Madrid has its own way of recruiting players, and they are very smart about it. Because, they are aware that Real Madrid is the definition of "TOP brand equity". Just imagine, a player can willingly go to Real Madrid for free and postpone the contract extension with the old club. Just look at what is currently circulating with player Trent Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid is reportedly very interested in the player because this is to strengthen Real Madrid's defense line.

At that time Real Madrid was experiencing instability but in the future we do not know what will happen because usually Real Madrid can make an impressive comeback, Liverpool looked strong since the beginning of the season but we do not know what will happen after they qualify for the last 16 the competition will be even tighter if there are some Liverpool players injured it will affect the team's performance and could experience a decline but I hope Liverpool will remain strong until the end because I want to see Liverpool win the title this season under their new coach.

Matchday 7 as the opening match of 2025 begins with Monaco against Aston Villa and it should be remembered that Aston Villa is currently safe enough to qualify but because there is still a chance of being eliminated so they need to conquer Monaco at home. It will not be easy but I am optimistic that Aston Villa in the Champions League has quite a lot of motivation and has repeatedly shown tight competition against giant teams only losing 1x in the last 6 matches. On the other hand Monaco the final result, whether they lose or win will still be in the play-off zone.

If not for injury, I don't think that the new format would have been a problem to Real Madrid to the point of affecting their performance. I believe that Real Madrid will go far in UCL, because they take their matches very serious from the knockout stage down. They have two matches left, and victory is sure for them in both matches.

Madrid has always been an interesting team to watch in the Champions League, with a long history and great achievements in this competition of course they continue to be favorites even in such a bad condition as they are today, but to be honest it will be even more boring for us if Madrid can continue to dominate the Champions League, because I personally hope that there are many teams that can compete for the title, So that way we will see more competitive competition occur, the change in the format of the Champions League has given us a new color where the favorite teams  is actually difficult at the moment and I hope that it can be used well by the underdog team to break the dominance of strong teams such as Madrid, Barcelona, Munich and also Manchester City in winning the Champions League trophy this season.

When we have Real Madrid not facing deep crisis due to injuries in last season we have same problem but still they were able to won double now again we have problems, but they are doing good and have fair chance of keeping things on track while their replacements are also giving them good job now after vacations we will have them against Valencia which is surely important game for them if they want to keep pressure on Atlético Madrid for title race.

After this we have few challenges for them in Champions League while they will host Salzburg and then visit Brest even most chances we will have both matches they can win and go through for next round but still they need to be well-prepared for their consistency and challenges which are waiting for them in coming rounds of this season.

A champions league without Real Madrid playing is going to be a boring champions league as they're the kings of Europe and a better entertainers than any other clubs. At times I use to think that Real Madrid just make things difficult for them so it looks like they struggle to win the league and some individuals will not downplay on their success as it always looks like they're going to be the favourite to win every year regardless of how bad they're playing. The hope aren't lost yet this season as the playoff are there that real Madrid won't take for a joke as they'll want to still be in the league as this year is the very first season of the new format that looks harder to win.

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.

We all know how Madrid's experience in the UCL is always performing very well even though sometimes failing to enter the final round. But at least the return of Vinic and Rodrygo gives strength to the attack line.
But Ancelotti still has problems that must be fixed because he is looking for a replacement for the defender who is currently injured and that must be done this month to continue to maintain the stability of the performance in the defense line.
Whatever happens Madrid will survive and qualify for the playoffs and after that we will see Madrid back to compete with other big teams.

Real Madrid have had a tough time in the champions league this season due to some injuries they have had through the season, but I think having Vinicius back from injury and Rodrygo is good to revive there season I still feel Real Madrid is going to get there form back. Ancelotti said a few weeks ago that they’ll be in the final and I doubts that but football is such an exciting game and anything can happen and things can change to quick in football, experience is always important in the game when it comes to the knockout stage's Real Madrid will still be there in the knockout stages because they know the champions league game and still remains the favorites

Real Madrid faced a lot of injury crises this season and that has been the major problem why the performance of the team has been very poor, the second issue which has been affecting the performance of the Real Madrid team is the arrival of Mbappe, the team has been struggling to blend with the formation being introduced by their coach and they have been inconsistent with their performance which has made them not to have good performance in the champions league like they used to have. Real Madrid has low chances of going far in the champions league this season following the number of matches they have lost in my opinion I think they will be eliminated this season but they will be hopping to get stronger next season.

Manchester City and Barcelona crises are not so much different. Do not be fooled by the UCL standings as of now. Let's look at the current form even in the domestic leagues. Do you think Barcelona that at one point had a 9 point league in la liga but are now 2 points behind Atlético Madrid with a game in hand can Reach the UCL final? Dude, they have just one win in their last 6 la liga matches  

Although Real Madrid's pace is not good, I think they can improve better in the upcoming matches. Their confidence has risen and also the injured players have returned to the team so their focus is only on finding victory in the 7th and 8th matches in the first phase of the Champions League this season. I am not worried about their performance because the team is full of experience and also supported by many quality players in their team.

Also in this early phase, several big teams have not shown their best strength because they have lost stability in their game. Like Manchester City, they certainly did not perform well in the Champions League this season, they are ranked 22nd in the standings, besides the team that is struggling hard is of course PSG because they are in a worse position in the standings.

The next two matches are likely to be easier for Real Madrid to win compared to the previous few matches. The availability of players in the squad gives the coach more freedom to choose who should play from the start and who should be replaced during the match. Ancelotti is certainly very stressed by his situation in the Champions League standings this season, meaning they have to work extra hard to get tickets to the last 16.

Not only Real Madrid, but several other favorite teams also suffered the same fate. Manchester City, PSG, Juventus, Atalanta, Milan and Atletico Madrid are also the same. They have to fight to win tickets to the round of 16 and it is possible that they will have to go through with a playoff match. Some of them might get away easily, but not all.

But we all know that Real Madrid, even they can win the Champions League title when people say that Real Madrid's chances of winning the Champions League are very small.

They are a team that has a pretty good squad depth, this team is filled with quality players, besides Real Madrid is also the most experienced team in the Champions League. But it seems that the new format implemented this season makes it difficult for several teams to secure themselves, get a ticket to the last 16, as happened to Real Madrid, where it is likely that Real Madrid will follow the play-off round first to be able to advance to the next round. The storm of injuries that occurred at Real Madrid, this has made the team lose its consistency, so that they get bad results from several matches. But with the experience they have, Real Madrid managed to get a new formula to be able to return to winning ways. And of course so that Real Madrid does not experience a back line emergency again, they must immediately recruit new players, and some rumors say that Real Madrid is currently approaching TAA, because he is considered a suitable replacement to fill Carvajal's position which will soon be left.

There are actually differences between Manchester City's form and Barcelona's, if Manchester City has been deflated as a team this season and nothing is still helping them, then Barcelona is holding up much better and most likely understands what is wrong with them and what is the consequence of such a bad recent form and they have a much better chance of success in the Champions League than Manchester City.

Liverpool has never been superior to Real Madrid in terms of anything and I can't consider just one win as a criteria of superiority cause Real Madrid have thrashed them severally in the past, they even thrashed them to win the Champions league severally. Intact the lose against Liverpool months ago was the first time Liverpool won Madrid after 15 years the records are there and it shows that between both teams Madrid has been the most superior in the Champions League over the years. Liverpool are in a very good form this season though, they started very well this season compared to Real Madrid that gots lots of players out of form due to series of injury and fatigue from various competitions but I believe they'll bounce back sooner and compete well for the Champions league as they've done over the years. Well, I'm not very sure if they'll succeed in winning this seasons Champions League trophy but whether they do or not, Real Madrid still remains the most superior team when it comes to the UEFA Champions League Competition.

Which is one of the biggest reasons why I believe Brest will end up getting that loss eventually. Real Madrid needs a win, they are going to end up using that win to stay and make sure they are in top 24, so it is going to be very important to get that win, whereas Brest do not "need" a win, they are guaranteed to go to next stage, so they won't play that good.

Plus, while I know Brest looks better at the table right now, if we were honest, Brest is nowhere near that level at all, they are not that good at all, we are talking about something much larger at stake and this is why we are dealing with a much bigger trouble with time.

So we need to realize Real Madrid has what it takes to win this game, the yare the better team and they are the one who needs the win at the same time, when you talk about those two both, there is really nothing that would be looking differently any other way. Hopefully, when the time comes, we could consider this changing with time as well. Because it is not always easy to predict these games, but I believe Real Madrid is just way too good to let this game go by, they have to win and go higher and will do better as well, that's just how they operate.

That was one win out of the many defeats Liverpool suffered against Madrid in the Champions League so that is ultimately what makes Liverpool superior to Madrid now.

Indeed, Madrid previously lost and indeed they could not do much in the match when it was held at Anfield in the preliminaries but that does not mean Madrid's condition is below Liverpool now especially for now Madrid is starting to return to its form where they start to be better than the beginning of the season so in the end I think the previous victory will not have any impact on probability because in the end the situation remains the same.

Indeed for now Liverpool are on top of the wind especially their slick record in the league phase is now quite good but that will not be a guarantee in the end especially when half of the season usually always has obstacles that make the situation sometimes unexpected.
