Even though many players are injured and absent, I am still amazed by Real Madrid's condition in the LaLiga standings, because it is not easy to be in second place in the LaLiga standings which is really difficult in a position like Real Madrid, imagine if none of their players experienced that, even though it is certain that they are already at the top of the LaLiga standings at this time and even in the Champions League they will definitely be in the top rankings, in my opinion Real Madrid's performance is still within the threshold, it's just that they often miss important moments in several matches, and the loss of confidence makes the game not go well, what's more, the task given to Mbappe is also very difficult to fill in several lines, even though he is in the right position for him.
Considering how many players are hurt or not playing Real Madrid is doing very well to be in second place in LaLiga. It is not easy to stay in good position when you have so many problems. If all of their players were healthy they would probably be in first place. Real Madrid is still playing good but they mostly miss important chances to score in games which hurts their confidence and how they play. And also Mbappe has a lot of pressure on him to do well even though he is playing in right position.
Isn't the pressure this year very normal? Mbappé, whom they call the biggest transfer for Real Madrid, could not make a proper impact on the team. There is no trace of Mbappé, who played magnificently with Paris Saint-Germain in France. He looks like an ordinary football player for Real Madrid. Yet he is considered the best player in France. He is also currently on the list of the best players in the world. After Real Madrid transferred him, many people thought that Real Madrid would win the Champions League because they strengthened the only missing striker of last year's magnificent Real Madrid with the best player in the world. However, this year we see that Mbappé is quite ineffective both in the game and in penalty shootouts.
When the official news of Mbappe's move to Real Madrid came out, everyone said that Mbappe's move to Real was the biggest news in the transfer market. It was big news at the time because Real Madrid waited four to five seasons to bring Mbappe to their club and after waiting so long they finally managed to bring Mbappe to Real Madrid. Mbappe's arrival at Real Madrid has been the center of attention as Mbappe has not been performing well for Real Madrid. It doesn't take a player as long to adapt to a new club in a new league as Mbappe did. He is regularly fouling up the field as well as missing penalties when given to him. If this continues Mbappe will put Real Madrid in a worse position but hopefully he has the talent to do better in the future.

Atalanta for a truth aren't as Liverpool but for a club that's been tearing teams apart this season and currently at the top of the Italian Serie A table, it's very possible that they can beat Real Madrid at home.
That said, I'm a passionate Real Madrid fan who believes so much on the strength and experience of the team so I'm optimistic that Carlo Ancelotti's men will win at Atalanta but that's of they'll play at their best
Sure, Atalanta isn't as strong as Liverpool. But Atalanta is possible to beat Real Madrid. Atalanta have defeated some big teams this season, they could defeat a team like Napoli, Roma, and AC Milan. Even if Atalanta defeated those strong teams in domestic competitions, it can reflect the strength of Atalanta this season. However, Atalanta isn't a team that has a very good record playing at their home. So, it makes sense if you assume Real Madrid still can beat them and get 3 points. Moreover if Real Madrid played with their best players. Real Madrid squad quality looks a much better than Atalanta squad quality.

Everyone becomes really serious following the competitive nature of these elite leagues. Borrusia Dortmund are not only the elite side that's having a competitive good run in the UEFA Champions League. We have other competitive clubs that are closing in to accumulate good points on the table. Borrusia Dortmund faces Barcelona next and that's simply a tough run down I'd you ask me. Nuri Sahin is having a close watch about the tough oppositions this season, ranking 4th position on UCL table and also in the race for Bundesliga title, watching him having whole priorities to handle.
Looking at what Barcelona have been performing in recent times, I'm not seeing to it that borrussia Dortmund will really be challenged by their presence or are they going to be scared they are having to contend them, only that we will be hoping the best team eventually wins at the end of the game but betting on either of them may not be the best as they are bothe experienced and have been doing so well in the champions League this season looking at their productivity and results in the champions League, not minding their domestic league performance, I believe they can actually get pass this stage of the champions League regardless of who eventually wins this particular fixture.

Atalanta are not as strong as Liverpool, so I still think they will share the points with Real Madrid. I don’t mean to belittle Atalanta impressive record in the Champions League this season, and I don’t want to ignore the half-dozen injuries to Ancelotti key players, but I am trying to see Real Madrid as a team with a number of quality rotation options. Atalanta failed to score against Arsenal and Celtic, which is something to consider. Besides, Ancelotti is no stranger to the Serie A side, and he has plenty of experience of facing them. When Real Madrid are under pressure, they can almost always turn things around, especially in the Champions League.

Dortmund are performing great in the ucl more than the league, but I don't think they will have the opportunity to defeat Barcelona in their next ucl competition because Barcelona are performers great in both the league and the champions league this season, and I just see that Dortmund are just trying in the ucl more than the Bundesliga title, but I think that is because they see they can't achieve the trophy anymore, so they focus more in the ucl and see if they can But anything may happen against Barcelona and Dortmund. I see that Barcelona has started losing form in the league because they are giving real madrid more opportunities to overtake them in the league this season, drawing and losing games with small clubs in te competition. Dortmund are  doing well in the ucl and they can probably give Barcelona a tough time before they can defeat them or draw game. Let us watch and see how the game will be ended and see who will be the favorite achieve the three point.
Barcelona will be the favorite team in the match assuming that Barcelona is a bigger team than Dortmund. But that was in the past and now in this new system, even weak teams can beat top teams and that could happen to Barcelona.
While Barcelona will play as a guest and Dortmund as the host has a great chance to hold a draw or even beat Barcelona.
This is a bit difficult but I am tempted by the odds that Dortmund has and want to try my luck betting on Dortmund.

I agree with you, without closing the door on Atalanta, regarding how Madrid has performed in the UCL it's obvious that things haven't gone very well for them, in fact for me Mbappé shouldn't be a starter until he feels better, but seeing that he scored against Girona, I see that he has regained the confidence that he had lost, Vinicius doesn't play in his usual position but who knows if he'll be able to play against Atlanta, they make Bellingam fall back as if he were a midfielder in recovery, I see him more as a left midfielder than an attacker, so that type of formation is of no use to me, for his part Arda Guller has done well.

And this time around everyone is looking for the opportunity to see if they will be able to cross to the other round and even Dortmund that made it to the finals last reason am not sure if they will be able to make it this season because the league looks more complicated than before and a lot of clubs keep participating and thinking one they might win but they need to understand that the champions league is not other leagues and even in term of football champions league can not be compared with other leagues and it takes experience to actually succeed over there.

And if the pattern is understood then there should not be any other problems, and that is why a lot of clubs always want to participate even eligible they won't win they want to get enough experience, that is one thing that Madrid have been using against this clubs and if not for this season they look as if they are off the grid because even the round sixteen, things are not really going very well well for them, there are better clubs than Dortmund to even say they want to win.

They are performing really well in the Champions League, they are not playing that well in their own league but their performance in the Champions League is quite good. They will face Barcelona in the next match, we will probably watch one of the best matches of the year.
They may not have much chance against Barcelona, ​​I think they will fall back in the rankings after that match. The Champions League is going very exciting this year Smiley

This match will take place at Signal Iduna Park, which is Dortmund's home ground. I agree with you that this is a difficult match for both teams, but Dortmund and Barcelona both have the opportunity to win the match or various points instead of one of them losing. Barcelona have not been at their best in their last few games in La Liga, so this will be an important point in assessing who can be favored.

Dortmund are also not very good in the Bundesliga where they only rank 5th, in fact both Barcelona and Dortmund drew in their domestic matches this week. Barcelona was held to a 2-2 draw by Real Betis, while Dortmund drew 1-1 against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Both teams seem evenly matched in terms of strength, but I tend to be positive towards Barcelona.

I didn't expect Borussia Dortmund to perform as well as they are now in the Champions League, and it even looks very different to what they've shown in the Bundesliga. Regardless of whether it's because of the opponent or not, it's a bit of a surprise to me. I don't mean to underestimate them, because we often see teams that can be very different in terms of performance in 2 different competitions. But what I mean is when we compare them to their rivals, Bayern Munich, in the Champions League they can show something better.

From last season that Borussia Dortmund went far in the champions league to the finals of the game, it has become very difficult for them to be looked down on in such competition. They have been playing really well in the champions league without giving much in the Bundesliga. They happen to be in a better position here than they’re in the Bundesliga. They now have some kind of positive connection to the Champions League that they perform better there even though the performance in the league matches is not kind of encouraging for now. We just have to wait to see how far they can continue with their consistency and remain within the range of that position they are currently on the table.

Thankfully the game after that is Salzburg, which shouldn't be too difficult to beat for them, unless they drop the ball and lose that too, but normally that looks like a simple enough to get a win. Last one will be Brest, who looked decent so far, but I still think they are weaker as well.

They might even play a more simpler game condition with Atalanta and get it very hard to win in their remaining two matches. The game has been very difficult for them to win in all five matches they’ve played and even lost and draw in matches they ought to have also won. The competition is different now, there could be a change to that but sincerely no sign of that. With time, all teams will get to adapt to the new format and also show some level of confidence in all matches they’ll be playing and not have an excuse to give for their poor performance.

The nature of a competition triggers the players to show more effect and play more to their best when given the opportunity. Borussia Dortmund to me are not the best team participating in the champions league but their performance there have been top notch that you’ll think they’re also replicating same thing in their Bundesliga games, but it is never like that. Ranking 4th in the champions league shows how much they’re already doing well in the competition. They’ve played five matches and out of more than 30 teams, they’re ranking 4th position, that’s a remarkable one for them. Nuri Sahin should try and do same to put their hope alive for the Bundesliga title because they need it too.

But the more participants in the group, the harder it is to fly out of it, isn't it? It's one thing to take third place in a group of 4 teams with 6 games, and quite another to take 25th place in a group of 36 teams with 8 games. Plus, did you notice that before there were 16 teams in the playoffs, but now there are 24? That is, an additional 8 teams have a chance to get to the quarterfinals if they win the preliminary playoffs. Therefore, I would not say that the group stage of the Champions League is difficult, on the contrary, and therefore clubs do not take it seriously.

This all falls back to each team showing their resistivity as a team to not relent no matter what. Not only Ream Madrid is playing in the competition and using the tight schedule for the season as an excuse of now performing well is just like underrating themselves. If other smaller teams compared to them can be this good and are currently above them in the standings and also not complaining, I feel they shouldn’t also. The format has been changed and it’s now in their own capacity to also adapt to the change in order to be victorious in the competition too.

Dortmund always focus on the champions league where they always play more aggressively and are able to steal gaps to score goals. Like last season Dortmund was in the group of death but they managed to get through it well and even reached the final. For that, the match against Barcelona is certainly a test of their toughness this season, and for Nuri Sahin he must be able to bring an epic strategy in this match because the opponent they face is a strong team.

If you look at their performance in the champions league, of course these two teams are equally strong because they only experienced one defeat in the 5 matches they have played. In the 6th match this time where Dortmund will play at home and that is an advantage for them to be able to beat Barcelona. Barcelona does have a good record this season because they managed to beat the Bundesliga representative, Bayern Munich, and I think they are also very favored to come out as winners in the match against Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park stadium.

I see Real Madrid's journey throughout last season even though they also had injury problems but their performance was not as bad as now Carlo Ancelotti was still able to handle the team well and qualified for the last 16 of the group stage with 0 defeats but now? you can see it yourself he has only played 5 matches but has experienced 3 defeats this is clearly a very bad result before they have never been this bad in the Champions League but I also understand this defeat is none other than because the competition in the UCL this season is indeed very tight because the new formation brings together balanced clubs.

But the more participants in the group, the harder it is to fly out of it, isn't it? It's one thing to take third place in a group of 4 teams with 6 games, and quite another to take 25th place in a group of 36 teams with 8 games.

Recently, Tchouaméni have recovery from injury and he played last match when Madrid defeating by Athletci Bilbao at La Liga match, latest update few hours before facing Girona in La Liga match, Real Madrid confirming their players Rodrygo out at that match due injury and have bad possibility will absent at Champion League match against Atalanta or not. Rodrygo's injury adds to the list of Madrid players who are injured at a crucial time when they need three important points if they want to have a chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League.

Madrid have inconsistent performance in Champion League matches exactly when several key players have absent, its not good news for Carlo Ancelotti how to make some effective rotation but Madrid keep get opportunity for winning upcoming match. Three matches left most important match for Madrid to win if won't loss opportunity reach to knock out round after Champion League adopting new format in this season.

It can be said that Tchouaméni has recovered from his injury, he returned to play with the main team for the domestic league. But unfortunately Rodrygo had to step aside again and it seems he will be absent in the match against Atalanta, as well as Vini's status who also seems to be absent in the 6th session of the Champions League qualifiers. Talking about the match against Atalanta, we know that Madrid needs a win for the remaining matches and to ensure qualification to the next phase. It's not an easy match for Madrid with the situation of many key players being absent, but there is no choice but for them to do their job as well as possible. I'm sure the situation is not good for Ancelotti, but at least he will do something so that his team can bring home three points to the Santiago Bernabeu. He doesn't have many options, but he can still rotate and rely on the available players. Uniquely, even though Real Madrid has been hit by a storm of injuries and it is certain that some of its players will be absent from the match against Atalanta. However, bookmakers give the same odds as the home team, which means Madrid has the same chance as the home team Atalanta. As a neutral supporter, I just hope that this match will present an epic battle between the two teams.

If you still remember, the fact is that last season Dortmund really struggled in the Bundesliga standings just to enter the top five. But the truth is, last season too, that Dortmund were the team that played in the Champions League final against Real Madrid. With a history like that, it's probably not too much of a surprise to me that Dortmund are still looking a bit poor in the Bundesliga but at the same time are getting better results in the Champions League this season too. But even so, over time also that Dortmund get results that slowly continue to improve in the Bundesliga also at this time. But indeed, basically Dortmund remains a team to be considered and Dortmund is not a team that can be underestimated, because Dortmund also always has a good effort to get good results in every match.

With the way Real Madrid is 24th and barely in, and PSG not even in right now, I have to say it's looking mighty difficult for them to do fine. Atalanta isn't a simple team neither, they just beat Milan this week, and I feel like this could be a difficult game for Real Madrid, with that many injuries, they may not end up winning, and that could put them out of top 24, and that's very disappointing, even with this many injuries, you would expect them to play better.

Thankfully the game after that is Salzburg, which shouldn't be too difficult to beat for them, unless they drop the ball and lose that too, but normally that looks like a simple enough to get a win. Last one will be Brest, who looked decent so far, but I still think they are weaker as well.

Even though many players are injured and absent, I am still amazed by Real Madrid's condition in the LaLiga standings, because it is not easy to be in second place in the LaLiga standings which is really difficult in a position like Real Madrid, imagine if none of their players experienced that, even though it is certain that they are already at the top of the LaLiga standings at this time and even in the Champions League they will definitely be in the top rankings, in my opinion Real Madrid's performance is still within the threshold, it's just that they often miss important moments in several matches, and the loss of confidence makes the game not go well, what's more, the task given to Mbappe is also very difficult to fill in several lines, even though he is in the right position for him.
Considering how many players are hurt or not playing Real Madrid is doing very well to be in second place in LaLiga. It is not easy to stay in good position when you have so many problems. If all of their players were healthy they would probably be in first place. Real Madrid is still playing good but they mostly miss important chances to score in games which hurts their confidence and how they play. And also Mbappe has a lot of pressure on him to do well even though he is playing in right position.
Isn't the pressure this year very normal? Mbappé, whom they call the biggest transfer for Real Madrid, could not make a proper impact on the team. There is no trace of Mbappé, who played magnificently with Paris Saint-Germain in France. He looks like an ordinary football player for Real Madrid. Yet he is considered the best player in France. He is also currently on the list of the best players in the world. After Real Madrid transferred him, many people thought that Real Madrid would win the Champions League because they strengthened the only missing striker of last year's magnificent Real Madrid with the best player in the world. However, this year we see that Mbappé is quite ineffective both in the game and in penalty shootouts.
