There is nothing to say for sure, because he also said that if it happens, it is just a possibility and it will not really happen either. Because after all,in the previous moment it also seemed like it was only about Bellingham who could not play and that means only Bellingham was injured in the previous moment. But even so, the reality is that Real Madrid is not easy to win and requires greater effort to be able to win in the previous few matches.

But at least, as time goes by they will also have good chemistry and if it has been formed well then ofcourse even though the rotation of players is done that Real Madrid will still be able to get good results. At least this is also still early in the season in their league and to enter and play the Champions League match later, of course they have better preparation.

An injury to a player certainly spells bad news for a team. It is normal for players to get injured, teams are always prepared with players' injury potential in mind. Since Real Madrid are the champions team, they will definitely show professionalism here. While dropping some players from the main squad will disappoint the head coach, they can rely on the backup players here, without which they will have no choice (if the tested players are not fit to play). I don't think Real Madrid's squad will be disappointing for any reason, as they have enough backup players and many star players. I believe their best player Kylian Mbappe will return to form very soon and he will know his breed. There are some other star players who have already proved their worth, maybe they are not in the best form but we can expect them to return to form very soon.

Injuries are part of the game, but when they pile up like this at Real Madrid, its not just bad luck. Here we are discussing a crowded calendar: La Liga, Champions League, even the Club World Cup. Its a lot. Ancelotti is a really outstanding manager. Nevertheless, he is performing a real balancing act right now. We all want to see Real Madrid lift that Champions League trophy again, but not at the cost of the players' health. Particularly considering players returning from injuries, he must be clever about rotations. Returning them hastily can cause further issues later on.

The bench of Real Madrid will be important this season. When the great stars fade, can they step in? Can Ancelotti adjust his strategies to maximize their benefits? I bet they can. The circumstances are difficult. Yet, if someone can negotiate it, it will always be Los Blancos. They've got the talent, the experience, and the winning mentality.

It is a common speculation in making an assessment of Real Madrid because the quality of the players they currently have is much better, they also do not lose their popularity so that many people are very sure that Real Madrid will repeat it again this season to win the Champions League for the umpteenth time.

I like your moderate attitude, it is good for us to objectively assess the potential that may occur during the season, from what Real Madrid has shown in the domestic league and the current situation, they do have a few problems, but it does not mean that in the middle and until the end of the season Real Madrid is stagnant, with the quality they have they should be able to turn things around when their condition is normal, but we do not know what will happen in the future.

Yes, that's what Real Madrid is currently experiencing, many of their core players are injured and that will affect their game, their strength will clearly be reduced in the first match later in the UCL against Stuttgart, seeing the storm of injuries experienced by Real Madrid can be utilized by Stuttgart by achieving positive results. But it seems that Ancelloti already has a plan to maintain the stability of his team, let's just wait and see what Ancelloti will do for all of that.

With the way Real Madrid have dominated the champions league competition, even when their performance in the La Liga is poor, they can still fight to be amongst the major contender of the champions league trophy which they may still end up winning. They have strengthened their squad more, that’s enough reason to believe in their dominance this season. They just need to be adaptable to each other when playing in the field because that’s what I see that they’re lacking now. They will and are still a possible winner this season too.


I don’t see any big deal with what is happening at Real Madrid now, they’re just the same team as they’ve always been but hit with some injuries. Despite this injuries, I haven’t seen a very bad record in most of their games played so far. I am just certain that with all this injury, they can still make a difference and not be looked down on to be easily defeated. They have back ups in all of their games, so I think they will still pass through this phase and come out victorious in both competitions.

Real Madrid's motivation and mentality in the Champions League are indeed unquestionable, they are always unique even though they do not record good results in the domestic league, but when competing in the Champions League their strengths are different, this often happens in previous seasons, maybe this is what is called a team that has Champions League DNA. However, this season Real Madrid seems to have a little difficulty fighting in the domestic league and the Champions League, not because their squad is not good enough, but because of the many injured players. All teams this season have a fairly tight schedule with additional matches due to the new format of the Champions League.

Right now I see news that there are some injured players such as Jacobo Ramón (muscle injury, out for two weeks), Militao (thigh muscle injury, out for 10-15 days), Bellingham (muscle injury, back in late September), Camavinga (knee injury, back in early October), Tchouaméni (metatarsal injury, back after international break), Mendy (overload, back after international break), Ceballos (grade 3 sprain with ligament damage in the right ankle, back in November), Joan Martinez (ACL, out for 8-9 months) and Alaba (ACL recovery, back in October). Injuries are something that all teams are worried about including Real Madrid, especially we know that Real Madrid's squad does not have enough cover especially in the defensive line. So I think even though Real Madrid are favorites in the Champions League, their journey will not be smooth.

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.

some motivation might be selfish but even doh as far as the club is gaining they should continue with whatever is motivating them, the surprising aspect of Real Madrid was the fact that they are always getting to the finals no matter how bad their performance can be in the champions league, they always know how to do their magic and even manchester united could not catch up to real madrid when it comes to the champions league, and even if manchester united have qualified for the finals last season they still would have been able to defeat real Madrid, because they are always very consistent with the champions league very consistent, and they prefer to have a bad result in their domestic league than lose the champions league title there was a period they focused on winning and lost both league and the city bagged the champions league.

And even when people are hasty and want Mbappe to work his magic they should allow him to boot the moment Mbappe picks up even the audience will be surprised because from the beginning mbappe is natural and he has all he needs to put up a very good performance all that he needs now is just understanding of the whole league then he can start, people wanted mbappe to start and start blasting everywhere, and the attempts he makes are incredible so they should hold their horses and there is no doubt that mabppe is going to do great things this season in both champions league and the domestic league.

all teams that have successfully qualified for the UCL will take every match seriously. but Madrid has a big problem with several players who are currently injured while defending the national team during the international break. a big loss for Madrid because the first UCL match will start immediately after the international break is over.
although Madrid always shows good performance in the UCL, losing some players who are the main squad choices will certainly frustrate the coach. hopefully, the injured players are not serious.

One thing about the Champions league you can't predict which team will win the league because the competition is always tough here. I can't say because Real Madrid is not performing very well and they don't stand the chance of winning the league this season. When it comes to champions league Real Madrid don't joke with it, Real Madrid can let laliga go but take champions league very serious.

Last season Real Madrid won the league which some people never expected.  It is too early to predict which team will champions league , Real Madrid may not be in the best form but they still have the chance to win.

Champions League, Real Madrid's big name must be considered by any team. The decision about Real Madrid will be the team that will lift the trophy this season, I think it is still very early with the new format that demands a lot of energy from all teams.
Regarding the favorite team, Real Madrid I also make them my favorite team.

To defend the title will be difficult. There is a condition to stop them from lifting the trophy again, namely by eliminating them early. If Real Madrid makes it to the Semi Finals, the chance to lift the trophy again this season is greater.

I don't think you really know who is suffering from an injury. They indeed have lots of players to play with but most of them are front line players. While most of the injured players are in the midfielder position, so you can't just put the forward players to replace those who are injured, especially in the defensive midfielder position.

This injury crisis has clearly had a huge impact and if it doesn't get better soon, Madrid may face a tough fight in La Liga, let alone the Champions League and most likely it will be quite difficult to always win every match.

Even if Real Madrid perform poorly in their domestic competition in any tournament, they are still doing well in the Champions League. Seeing their performances like this, it seems that maybe they only build a team to do well in the Champions League. With the squad they have built this season, they will surely do well in this season's Champions League and they have a great chance of winning La Liga. Last season we saw Real Madrid secure their 15th title. It would not be a surprise if they celebrate a 16th title this season as their team is stronger this season than last season.

We have to see how deep the squad is that Madrid has. even though some players are injured, it will not affect Madrid. because they have many player options that I think are not much different in quality. unless Vinicius, Mbappe, and Rodrygo are injured at the same time. that might be serious for Ancelotti. if the situation happens in another team, it might be very influential. but for Madrid, I'm sure they can still perform well. but we also see whether the new system used for the group stage with 8 matches will benefit Madrid or not.

I am deciding on Real Madrid as the team of the season to lift the trophy reason being that Real Madrid as a team to be on the safer side because they have always possessed what it takes to defend and grab trophies.
Making changes at every windows opened, knowing their loopholes and replacing them.

Real Madrid was the team to lift the trophy last season and they have had better players in the past and last season they still maintained their stance.

They also have connective conducts, good team works and this season they portrays the prospect again because they were good last season in winning the Spanish La Liga and this season with Kylian, Mpappe and Kendrick from Brazil brought to this team with other older players of the team they have add more squad depth.

This has got me to believe they will do better again this season so they stand a chance to lift the trophy again this season. This is the reason why I am making Real Madrid a choice at this season.

With regards to what is happening to Real Madrid in the La Liga now we shouldn't be too confident about them winning the Champions League this season because literally, no one expected them to face this difficulty they found themselves in the La Liga now and considering the level of injuries that has hit the club is already sending a message that things may not really work so well for the team as everyone thought it will. However, Real Madrid is an elite club with quality players so regardless of the injury concerns they can still perform better and possibly claim the UCL again.

Having just good players doesn't cut and I see this in respect to what Chelsea football club has become because they have bought and bought so many that it has gotten to extend of knowing how play them is now a major issue for them and I believe Real Madrid now are also facing similar set back although they win some of their games and ancelotti is good coach but it's still clear that Madrid have struggled to play and sync together as one whole big team.

Some teams play with a different motivation in some tournaments or in some special matches. Real Madrid always prepares for the Champions League with more motivation. We see this every season. I think the competition in La Liga is not enough for them. They always want to play against better teams, so they prepare for the Champions League with a different motivation. Even when they have bad results in La Liga, they can still get good results in the Champions League. They have a very good squad this season. Arda, Brahim, Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius Junior are a nightmare for any team. They will be the biggest favorites for this trophy this year as well.

Too early to decide that Real Madrid will be the winners of the Champions League, but statistics speak for the point made, and I get why so many people would like to already declare this. Real Madrid has been unreal in the past few seasons in the most prestigious European tournament, and they can back all their supporters with mind-boggling performances.

They also strengthened their squad, and don't really have massive lackings either. They just need a bit more fine-tuning, which can sort them out just right. Their start to the season was a bit slow, we've seen how the chemistry between the attackers are not sorted perfectly, they are struggling to link up, which can happen between star players.

Now comes the harder part of the season when UCL starts, because this year it's a bit different, there are more games, and it's harder to cope up with all the league matches also going on at the same time. Real Madrid is different breed in UCL tho, so it should be fun.
