Losing Bellingham is a strong blow for Madrid at the moment because he does have the ability to play in different positions while in the squad, but we also cannot deny that the arrival of Mbappe has at least filled the hole that Bellingham has left in the front line, so that currently Ancelotti just need to find the right formula to overcome the problems in the midfield, 

I think now it's not just Madrid that is currently experiencing bad luck due to a storm of player injuries, but most of the teams that send their players to the national team to play in the UEFA National League and World Cup qualifiers are experiencing the same thing, in fact I think the conditions faced by Madrid It's no worse than what Arsenal and other teams face that don't have good squad depth so far, Madrid is a team that has good squad depth and of course they will still be able to compete in the Champions League this season by rotating injured players. Apart from that, some Injured players are now starting to recover and are ready to return to play.

Losing Bellingham is a strong blow for Madrid at the moment because he does have the ability to play in different positions while in the squad, but we also cannot deny that the arrival of Mbappe has at least filled the hole that Bellingham has left in the front line, so that currently Ancelotti just need to find the right formula to overcome the problems in the midfield,  to be honest, at the moment I'm not worried about Madrid front line, but my concern lies in their defense which I think is very weak at the moment.

Real Madrid must be able to play with many competitions and of course Ancelotti must be able to make his team's performance even better. Indeed, Ancelotti is always ambitious to win in all competitions and of course this is a natural thing because of course everyone also wants to win in all competition, but of course in this case Ancelotti is very lucky because he has good subordinates and many star players, who of course have great potential to achieve success and champion title in all competitions.

Indeed, currently many Real Madrid players are injured, but of course Real Madrid still has Mbappe, Vinicius and others who of course have great potential to make Real Madrid win. but of course it cannot be denied that if there were no injured Real Madrid players, of course Real Madrid's strength would be even better. But of course Real Madrid will definitely fight with the maximum in all competitions and it would definitely be a shame if Real Madrid failed to win many trophies.

but in my opinion what is most regrettable is Bellingham's injury because in my opinion if Bellingham is not injured it will certainly make it easier for Ancelotti to manage his technique but I see Real Madrid's 1st and 2nd tier players are certainly extraordinary but it is definitely not easy for Real Madrid in a competition to win but of course victory can definitely be achieved even with great difficulty.but I hope that Bellingham can recover quickly from his injury and can play later in the UCL against VfB

I will even say that Bayern could have won if the referees had made different decisions, but that is no longer important. I agree with you that Real Madrid was very lucky in several matches of the Champions League. It is obvious that they have more problems now and this is already reflected in their results in La Liga, I think that in the Champions League they will be even more obvious because the opponents there are also stronger. But perhaps this will be more obvious at later stages of the tournament.

I personally will not always be fixated only on Ancelotti who managed to get five Champions League trophies because after all, Ancelotti also only succeeded when he was the manager of top teams like Real Madrid and Milan. But, when Ancelotti became the manager of other middle teams and some were also still top teams in different leagues, but in reality Ancelotti did not even succeed in improving the quality of the team in other teams in different leagues. Therefore, I think whether Real Madrid will succeed or not in the Champions League this season, it still seems to prioritize team performance first and cannot rely on just a few parties or players.

But indeed, when it comes to the Champions League and Real Madrid it is like something that is difficult to separate. Because after all, even though Real Madrid did not have good results in the domestic league but in fact, Real Madrid always managed to get good results in the Champions League and even, managed to get the trophy too. But I think this season might be more difficult,  because with the implementation of the new format then of course it will make teams like Real Madrid also get different challenges, so there is still no guarantee for Real Madrid to succeed this season.

I do not think Real Madrid will have easy time in Champions League with their current team. They have history of doing well in tournament but last year they got lucky because of mistakes made by other teams. They also won some games at very last minute. Other teams like Bayern Munich could have won if they made different decisions. This means Real Madrid did not just win because they were best but also because of things outside of their control. So I think they will face problems in Champions League with their current team.

~The number of competitions that Madrid has to play certainly forces them to be able to rotate players well, as a big team and handled by experienced coach, of course they don't want to lose a single trophy from the competition they participate in ,so I think all competitions will certainly be played seriously and not just La Liga and the Champions League, see the number of injured players at the moment, Madrid journey may be a little difficult, but that doesn't mean they won't focus on all of these competitions, because we know how Madrid and Ancelotti have had great ambitions to win every trophy so far.

Among the players mentioned in this list, 6 players are very important players for Madrid's squad. And these are the players we see in Madrid's starting XI. With half of the players in the starting XI facing injuries, Madrid's performance will naturally be somewhat unstable. There is no doubt that Ancelotti is an experienced coach. But since so many important players of the squad are not with the squad, we don't know how Madrid will perform in the next three matches.

Madrid will play against Real Sociedad, Stuttgart and Espanyol in their next three matches. Madrid needed the likes of Bellingham, Tchouameni and Camavinga in matches against Sociedad and Stuttgart. Without these three key midfielders it will be difficult to keep the squad stable and win these two matches. I am looking forward to see how Ancelotti takes the strategy in the next two matches. Ancelotti and Madrid are understandably very popular at the moment.

Well I don't think so IMO, Madrid has been qualifying to play in UCL for so many years ,they played with alot of teams so that strategy thing is out for me....they wouldn't have made it through to last year's final if not for some overlooked mistakes by opponent  and this is mostly die minute win though Madrid has a strategy of playing fast pressing games in their last minutes but I think those stuffs that happened last year won't repeat itself especially  Bayern, Bayern could have reached the finals if not for the last minute subs . Thus saying Realmadrid won't have difficulty issue in UCL with their current squad  doesn't seem right to me.

See how the bookies continue to favor Real Madrid as champions this season, every generation of Madrid players is never lacking they always have young players whose talents are quite high and this is what Real Madrid has.

The most difficult games for Madrid in my opinion will be the La liga games. The champions league games seem to be something they know how to deal with because teams from other countries don't really know how to play Madrid, but La liga teams have understood them and will give them more difficulty.
Real Sociedad is going to be a difficult game because aside from the injuries, more Madrid players were on international duties than Sociedad players so that gives them a little advantage too.

This is still early and the opportunity is still very large, the current obstacle is not a big problem, some players are indeed in treatment due to injury, but that will not be long in my opinion because no one has a serious injury that requires a lot of time to recover.

Calm down our friend will see Real Madrid back to its track, this is just a challenge for the start of the season for them and I strongly believe their mentality and abilities can be relied on especially if the team's strength works entirely very likely to take a lot of trophies this season.

La Liga is also important, but you are right, with so many games to play, they can catch up and they have proven that in previous seasons.
Talking about UCL, as I recall, when the trio of Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale were still playing for Real Madrid, they were behind on aggregate in UCL several times in the last few seasons when it was still using the old format, but Real Madrid were always able to turn things around and advance to the next round, there were many crucial moments shown there. This proves that Real Madrid's mentality is beyond doubt, another thing is that if Real Madrid reaches the final, they never lose. "The UCL trophy as if to be made only for Los Blancos", although the words I wrote are exaggerated, but I feel that, is there anyone here who feels the same way?

The problem of many team casualties can be figured out with the rest of the players on the bench. The main reason i like Ancelotti a lot is because even at this period he knows what to do, although you will still be some shaking in their defense and midfield but that won't stop them from winning games since they have a strong froward to score for them. Hopefully, most of the players on injury will be back before mid-time. Again, I would say that with their current team status, they are not strong enough to face teams like Mnajester City, Barcelona, Bayern PSG or Arsenal in the UCL.

Champions League matches are always different, every club will try to impress because it's the most prestigious competition, while for LaLiga it's important but they can catch up when they're behind. I believe Real Madrid can get back on level terms later in LaLiga.

I've never doubted Real Madrid in the Champions League and it's true that they have a winning mentality that other clubs don't have, the players carry a bit more ambition in UCL matches even when last season they were a goal down to Bayern Munich but Real Madrid could turn it around to win.

To be sure, it's not as easy as you say.
Real Madrid has indeed become the king of the Champions League with many titles, but to win the Champions League title you have to try hard to overcome various challenges from teams who expect Real Madrid to fail. It's not easy to beat PSG, it's not easy to beat Bayern Munich and it's never easy to beat Manchester City and Liverpool, but at least Real Madrid managed to beat them to win the title.

Even though the Champions League title is the main priority, Real Madrid should not underestimate its competition in the domestic league. La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Super Cup are prestigious titles in Spain, so they will not ignore any challenges from there.
