At the beginning of this season, Real Madrid was really unlucky because the list of injuries to their players continued to grow, even though they still had some players they could rely on, but Carlo Anceloti still had to rearrange his strategy, especially since this season they would be busier than previous seasons. The players would experience fatigue and, perhaps, at worst, injury, so the coach had to be smart in rotating players so that they could continue to fight until the end.
Madrid's injury list at the start of this season is very long. And almost all players are key players in Madrid's squad. Militao, Bellingham, Mendy, Tchoumeni. Camavinga and Alaba are what we see in Madrid's starting XI. And the ill effects of so many players dealing with injuries will certainly show in Madrid's performance. At the same time, Mbappe has not yet been able to adapt himself well to this squad. So Madrid's overall performance so far has been erratic.
Madrid will face Stuttgart in the first match of the Champions League. This team managed to perform well in the last season. But we haven't seen a better performance from Stuttgart so far this season. They lost points in both matches. This team's defense seems to be weak this season. So even if Madrid's performance is unstable, Madrid has a big chance of winning against Stuttgart.
