For sure Real Madrid is the favorite in this game and always when they playing , but having a team full of Superstars dosnt mean that they always play good.
The comeback from Bellingham to the squad can make the difference if he is in a good shape fully recovered.
Lets see if Stuttgart will be gets destroyed or maybe we see some surprise today , hope for the german team its possible to get a draw that would be nice.
Yes, that's right. Real Madrid were indeed very favored before the match started, especially Madrid as the defending champion. Bellingham's return did make Real Madrid's attack line even more terrifying, but after the match started what happened was that Real Madrid were overwhelmed against Stuttgart, they managed to create several good opportunities, but during the first half Real Madrid were under great pressure even in the first 7 minutes goalkeeper Courtois managed to make four saves on target against Stuttgart's goal. In the fourth save, he shouted to his teammates. Not only that, Courtois also managed to save his goal from conceding until the end of the first half.
Real Madrid's attack line is indeed good, but without defender Milito, Real Madrid had difficulty focusing on attacking because Stuttgart's counterattacks were very dangerous. From the first half I saw only Courtois, Rodrygo, and Bellingham playing well, the rest were not so good. Ancelotti must immediately rearrange his strategy for the second half if he wants to win and in the second half Vazquez must be replaced immediately, because his game was very bad in the first half, he often made mistakes. Even though Madrid had started to control the game, he often made mistakes, how many times did he pass the ball wrongly which ultimately resulted in a 1vs1 with Courtois.
