Funny thing is that once they finally win the league. They start suggesting that they won it by luck. Like, how many times does Real Madrid have to be UCL Champions by luck?
They are supposed to be favorites by default because they are record holders and there are very few teams that can stop them from lifting yet again another Champion's league trophy.
Even though when talking about the actual competition, Madrid can always be superior even though for now at the beginning of the season Madrid is still a little constrained but good management can change Madrid's performance to continue to improve in every match that is done and for now it is also like that. In domestic competitions we can see that Madrid at the beginning of the match did not get optimal results but slowly it can be broken by a series of positive results even when they experience a storm of injuries like what is happening now.
This first week in the Champions League was also very good with a decent score for Madrid although the main focus in this first week was Bayern who managed to set a new record but Madrid is still Madrid who will be difficult to deal with especially when dealing with trophies.
