I don't doubt Ancelloti's ability to bring out the talents of his players including Mbappe who is currently still unable to integrate with the team, we are just waiting for the right time for Mbappe to bring out all his talents at real Madrid and help real Madrid win the La Liga and European trophies, So for now as supporters should be more patient because the team needs time especially at this time the real madrid squad is in a player crisis, most of its core players are injured we must understand that the current situation experienced by real madrid will inevitably have an impact on the improvements they are currently doing, and honestly real madrid for now still shows a good game despite being hit by injuries. Therefore as I have said, there is still plenty of time for recovery, wait for the time to come mbappe brings glory with real madrid.

I agree with you. My guess is that Ancelotti will be able to transform this squad into a strong one in the next few weeks. I'm just waiting to see when Bellingham returns to the squad. Bellingham's return to the squad will stabilize Madrid's midfield. And if the midfield is stable, the performance of Madrid's forward players will naturally be stronger.

In the last match we saw Mbappe perform very well and managed to score two goals. Mbappe's brace helped Real Madrid win 2-0 against Real Betis. Mbappe has slowly adapted to Ancelotti's match tactics. Now that Bellingham is back in the squad, Madrid's performance will be even stronger.

Ancelotti has always succeeded and will always succeed in transforming teams into authentic goal-scoring machines. Real Madrid was still a team that had a lot of potential but Ancelotti always manages to bring out the best in the teams and Real Madrid will return to winning in the next matches. I'm sure

Back at the time when Vinicius Junior joined Real Madrid squad, he wasn't any better than Kylian Mbappe right now and I remember Benzema saying about him to his mates, that he is playing against us. Everything takes time and we all know about the quality and performance of Mbappe.

Mbappe is a very talented player. And he could score plenty of goals in the future if he settles into Madrid's squad. We have seen Vini perform very poorly a few seasons ago. Even he missed many easy opportunities. But Ancelotti gave Vini enough opportunities. And at the moment one of the most important scorers in the Madrid squad is Vini. So Mbappe is yet to perform as well as expected with Madrid. But given enough time and opportunities, Mbappe should be able to adapt to this team. However, in the last match we saw a much better performance from Mbappe. Mbappe has to maintain this consistency.

Sooner or later Mbappe will definitely be able to follow the flow, it is not easy to adapt in a very competitive league, it requires a strong mentality, Real Madrid players have a strong enough mentality and Mbappe cannot be said to be completely strong even though he has natural talent because Mbappe has spent most of his time in League 1 for 9 years with easier competition. League 1 is very different from La Liga so he needs to repeat honing his abilities Carlo Anceloti will give him time and many opportunities so that he can become the top scorer at Real Madrid, Mbappe is a player who replaces Karim Benzema and Ronaldo in the present so the coach must be able to use him well.

In as much as it's expected of Kylian Mbappé to hit the ground up and running in his scoring of goals at Real Madrid and starts performing as expected, but it still very early to expect that such performance from him, despite his an incredible player that wouldn't find it very difficult to adapt and blend into any team which he finds himself, Mbappé has just had few weeks play time at Madrid, to me, I won't expect much now from him and until after his first season at Madrid, but if he does performance well, then good.

Get ready to watch the stellar performance of Real Madrid, they're the best team with the most amazing talents although we have other elite clubs that would pulled competitive challenge for the club. Real Madrid winning the UEFA Champions League title as if it's less competitive for them do create memorable seasons for them. They've included top signings for the adoption of new style of play.

Kylian Mbappe is one of the best signings this season for Los Blancos and Carlo Ancelotti, team's supporters expects more from the new signing. Mbappe will prove himself worthy to grab the available accolades and amazing odds for himself. Expects more from the Frenchman in Santiago Bernabéu because this is just the beginning of the player bagging goals, he will score more in Real Madrid jersey this season.

Ancelotti changed his match strategy in the fourth match. And we got to see the benefits. In the first three matches, Real Madrid played in a 4-2-3-1 formation. And Madrid's overall performance in this formation was quite poor. Both Mbappe and Vini performed poorly in this formation and strategy in particular. However, I think Madrid's overall performance in the 4-3-3 formation is quite organized. Especially Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo performed well. Also the performances of Valverde and Tchouemeni were quite good. Madrid will probably play in this formation in the upcoming matches. It is expected that Madrid's performance will be even sharper in the upcoming matches.

Sometimes we just worry too much before seeing the performance. I understand anyone who is worried about Madrid performance in the UCL right now who must have injury problems. But we also have to remember that Ancelotti has a very complete squad and on the one hand in the attack line we don't need to worry because I'm sure Mbappe and Vinic can work together to maintain their position in the standings. Ancelotti only needs a little time to have a way to strengthen the defense line which is currently a concern for most fans. Madrid still has second string players and this can be used if they really don't have any other alternatives.

The synergy between mbappe and vinicius is another thing that Ancelotti is yet to completely tackle a s fix and now he's got piles of injuries to handle, putting all together, he's got a whole lot to handle which is why most persons are already panicking about their champions league performance because I know that as human that he is, it's enough to put some pressure on him so he may get some hitches on the way trying to get all of this fixed. Talking about time, he needs some time to get things back afloat and he's got the time as currently he's got from now till almost mid season a d for champions league there's still few weeks ahead to kick off, I'm trusting him and aswell keeping a good level of optimism for Madrid.

For the Real Madrid squad line-up, it is clear that the front line is very sharp with Mbappe and several other Real Madrid players such as Vinicius, and they also have good support from the midfield that can continue to help attack or defense so that we don't need to worry about Real Madrid performance in the UCL competition.
So far, Real Madrid peak performance has not been found during Mbappe presence, but over time and more matches can make them work together and become truly tough squad.
Ancelotti is great and experienced coach, he has handled Real Madrid for long time so that in any condition it can definitely be resolved well, I believe that for the match in the UCL later Real Madrid can show competitive game.

They are using a lot of the idea of the "dead" superleague, but this is on copied poorly.

This is really a poor imitation of the Super League. Of all 18 games, only 3 (I highlighted them) can be called top games and in addition, you can find 3-4 games that are of interest. The rest will be interesting only to fans of the playing clubs. In total, out of 18 games, only 6-7 are watchable - and this is with the optimistic assumption that the new format will not kill the irreconcilability of the confrontations, since this is the group stage and the value of the games is very low. The only improvement is three matchdays instead of two, but that could also be a problem as the Europa League and Conference League will have no spectators at all.

Yeah, basically UEFA is getting inspired by Super League with this new format. But, the good thing is that no Champions League teams dropped to Europa after failing in the group stages. It means the competition in Europa league won't be diluted by the Champion leagues team.

It makes the Europa League more prestigious than last year. CL teams have no chance to get revival on Europa League after getting knocked out from the CL. And i'd be more excited for this.

There may be less spectators in the competition below UCL due to the new format, but i have no problem with it. I know UEFA <3 money.

The only good thing I've seen about this new UCL format so far is the fact that you can even get to see an early UCL final clash at this league phase. Liverpool will be playing some of the best teams in the champions league this season and majority of this would be in the league phase if at all they don't go on to qualify for the knockout rounds. Even that itself is a negative because smaller teams are stacked up against each other while the big teams face off to eliminate each other. It might be the case that we would have majority of the biggest teams out of the tournament before knockout stages.

It is about getting more games and giving chances for new teams to join but in reality, we all know it is about the money.
There will be some interesting matches in between for sure especially when you see the face of PSG president Wink

Milan - Liverpool and Manchester City - Inter games are the ones that attract my attention the most on the first match week.

The first one reminds me of a very old rivalry. Grin

Those great times for both sides... Milan had an amazing squad and Liverpool were also very strong. That Champions League finale is unforgettable. Now they face each other again. Because of not seeing Milan good enough, I think Liverpool will win this away game.

For the latter, I see a Manchester City win at Etihad like most people. Inter are really strong so I don't think they will lose by a big goal gap. But I still don't expect them to steal any point.

IMO, in terms of play, Manchester City is almost always consistent when playing in the UCL. If we flashback to the quarter-finals when these two teams met last season, in the two meetings Man City always dominated and controlled the course of the match. Unfortunately, at that time City had to be eliminated. This season City is still a strong team, they are one of the potential challengers in this competition to win the championship trophy. Same as Real Madrid, which has a very competitive team. It's just that Don Carlo did not strengthen the depth of his defenders. Personally, their defense can have an impact when meeting a strong opponent.

So is Real Madrid's midfielder, although in terms of players they are great midfielders. However, without Kroos for now it has quite an impact even though Madrid will be able to condition him. If I have to try to speculate based on personal assumptions, especially if these two teams are brought together again, whether it's in a crucial round phase. For now, I still say that Man City will be more dominant and control the course of the match when they meet Madrid. However, no matter which team wins, it is worth watching because it will definitely be exciting. By the way, the competition hasn't even started yet and let's wait and see.

I agree - Manchester City is a really exciting team and they can control matches like no other. Real Madrid does not look good on paper right now, but they do turn into beasts every time they play in the UEFA Champions League , and that is something you can always bet on.

But the way Pep has developed the Manchester City team is insane, the team has every quality you can possibly look for. I think Pep's time at Manchester City is nearing an end, which leads to the fact that he might try to give this season a story like "one last time" - where he goes for all the glory, like a last ride.

We might see on the knockout stages of the UCL, where we see City facing Real Madrid once again, and this calls for a great show every single time. Pep's tactical masterclass against Carlo's insane magic of using individual brilliance and short moments of magic just does wonders to the game.

It seems that this season Madrid will find few of its players on the bench considering the number of their players who are injured, the international break is a nightmare for Madrid at the moment even though they have prepared to return to the top of the standings and also face a busy schedule, what is happening to Madrid at the moment actually reminds me with Madrid rejection of FIFA and UEFA policies which were previously considered very detrimental to the club, busy schedule from national team which has to play, of course will have a negative impact on the club, the injuries that have befallen Madrid at the moment will obviously disrupt their performance ahead of the match week 5 and also the Champions League is played, I think what is happening to the Madrid squad at the moment is certainly beyond Ancelotti expectations who has indeed closed the possibility of an earlier transfer of players, But even so, we can't blame Ancelotti because after all Madrid is still possible to try to rotate the injured player with some academy players later.

Yes, it's a big loss for Real Madrid because they need to find wins and wins, but in other words, many players are injured which could affect their performance in the next few matches. Like Bellingham, who is reportedly ready to return to the team this month and I think that's good news because he is so needed by the team right now.

Indeed, Ancelotti is a coach who is full of experience in how to rotate players when he has to choose other players who are ready to make a lot of contributions when his main players are absent. I think there is a lot of work that Ancelotti has to think about, especially they have to be able to maintain their good performance in the domestic league and will also prepare their strength when playing in the Champions League. Injuries are indeed unwanted things, but this is where the coach's expertise is needed.

To remind you guys this season in champions league, we have a small change compared to the previous seasons, and here is a small explanation from an article

“This will be the first season under a new format, with 36 participating teams that in the league phase plays eight games each against different opponents, but all the teams are ranked in a joint group. This will increase the total number of matches played in the competition proper from 125 to 189.”
Source: wikipedia

Even though I’m sure about the teams we use to see in this competition will stay always present in the advanced phases, due to their high level compared to other league, when we compere between Spanish teams or Finland or Wales, even lower than that. However, it’s stays as a chance for some players to shine and make their road into better teams, knowing they will play against strong teams followed by a huge community of football fans.

Real Madrid's injury list is piling up, and it's a damn problem. We're talking about a club with galactic expectations, playing in every competition imaginable. You can't run these guys into the ground. Ancelotti knows how to handle things. Managing this squad is only for the master. Mbappe's got the world on his shoulders, you can't burn him out before Christmas. The medical team needs to step up, too. This isn't just about fitness, it's about preventing these breakdowns

Nobody likes seeing their team on the back foot. But Real Madrid is built on resilience. They'll find a way. Ancelotti needs to be smart, the players need to be disciplined, and we, the fans, need to be patient

All clubs must have anticipated something like this, but what Real Madrid felt in my opinion was quite unlucky, because they felt something like this when the league had just started and also in their game they had not been able to fully find their best game, as evidenced by the 2 draws they felt from the 4 matches they had played.
As a coach, Ancelotti would definitely be very dizzy finding that many of his players were injured. He had to implement the second plan that he should have had from the start. The coach must have many plans, both regarding game strategy, the composition of players to be fielded (rotation), to players who can play in various positions. Last season, Ancelotti had rotated the positions of the players and it was quite successful and now he has to do more than that.

Exactly that rotation of last year that Ancelotti did was successful for them, but we don’t know what he is trying to do in this situation where almost half of the players are on injury, but we all know that Ancelotti will always have a plan for that because we expect to see Real Madrid do more than they are doing now to be sincere. Real Madrid performance is not easy for them, and it will not be a good deal for them because in 4 games to win only 2 for the start of the season, it is not a good start for them as we have expected because I personally have more hope on them to go more than this in this season, but I know it will soon be well, and Ancelotti will set everything up with time.
