That's true because players are often affected psychological when it comes to some sort of losses that they as a team experience in the field of player and for this particular game I believe they will be for sure be demoralize and sometimes it can affect them for a long while as there form will and playing capabilities will reduce especially added with the whole ballon Dior award saga that lead to whole team not actually attending the ceremony.

There are 4 injured players, Ancelotti still has enough players to put on the lineup. I think Ancelotti has no problem with the number of the players, he may only need to improve the mentality of the players. After the defeat against Barcelona at home, most players may still feel unsatisfied with the result. Ancelotti must try to make all players aware about the chance in UCL. Even if they must fail in La Liga, they should try to not fail in UCL. Winning against AC Milan will make them to be more secure in UCL table. It will be bad if they fail to get full points, will be further away from the top 8.

Regarding Rüdiger, I'm sure he is fine. He will play against AC Milan, Rüdiger is the main CB and he can't be replaced by other player. Even if you assume his performance is declining, I think Rüdiger's performance is still in a proper level. So, Ancelotti doesn't need to consider Tchouaméni or Vallejo to replace him.

PSG's performance in the Champions League is quite poor. PSG team managed to win only one out of three matches. PSG secured a narrow 1-0 win over Girona in their Champions League opener. Girona was a very weak team, but PSG players couldn't score more than one goal.

PSG lost 2-0 against Arsenal in the second match. PSG players can't score a single goal. And the match drew 1-1 with PSV in the last match. From this it is easy to understand that the main reason for PSG's poor performance this season is the lack of experienced strikers in the squad.

There is no doubt that Luis Enrique's match strategy is very good. I have seen in several PSG matches that PSG players are capable of attacking a lot. But there is no experienced finisher in PSG's squad. And that's why we don't see PSG playing well on the Champions League platform.

While there are many injured players in Real Madrid and this team should be prepared for the match against AC Milan, it seems there is good news for Ancelotti while they are getting closer to the match against AC Milan because Antonio Rüdiger the player of Real Madrid is ready to play he is in the good form which means Antonio Rüdiger can play Real Madrid against AC Milan.
However, I think with or without Rüdiger Real Madrid can easily win the game and beat AC Milan because they couldn't have good performance recently in this team.

The performance of PSG may not appear good to you just yet but they aren't doing just bad yet, they may not be at their peak but aren't in their worse just yet, PSV isn't a weak side such that we would want to make a deal out of the fact that they drew against PSG, they did had a good performance and almost a chance at winning the game, even in their domestic league, they aren't doing poorly so it will be okay to not look them as been terrible just yet because they still get to be able to get a chance at their domestic league.

You are right, PSG are not in good form in the Champions League especially in their last 2 matches.
PSG has only been able to win 4 points in 3 matches so far with 1 win and 1 draw, meanwhile PSG still has 5 further matches that they can maximize. Sometimes matches are difficult and don't go according to expectations, this is like when Barcelona was defeated by Monaco and Real Madrid was defeated by Lille.

Even so, PSG still has the opportunity to improve its performance in the Champions League. They could qualify for the round of 16 directly or through the playoffs, so that opportunity is still not written off. So far PSG is still better than Milan and Bayern Munich, of course if you look at the points obtained in the previous 3 matches.

Ac Milan is not even close to Madrid especially when it comes to the Champions League and after the surprise they got from Barcelona they will not want to make such a mistake because that win is a record-winning game i don't think even Madrid has been able to win Barcelona in such a matter, this season Madrid have not been taking their games serious but they have learned the hard way from their rivals. they won't take their chances against Ac Milan they might even use them as a recovery section, and i don't even think you need a statistic it is clear that Madrid will win the game.

Because the only backup plan they seem to have is not more than the Champions League as for their home league which is La Liga belongs to Barcelona this season even with a strong back-line it is going to be hard for them to stop Madrid, and I don't even rely on mbappe in this game because if it is not offside then it is a missed opportunity so he needs to get his focus restored and play a good game for Madrid and even without mbappe it is a winning game. They should just make up their mind that they can not beat Madrid.

PSG are not in any good performance, in which there last game against PSV, they end it on a draw, instead of Winn the game. PSG poor performance is getting out of hand, although they are the 19th in the table not 24th, but still if they will not focus more I doubt it if they can make it to the round of 16 this season. Because both the strong teams and the less strong team they won’t still win the game they either lose or go on a draw, and know know that almost all their opponents I don’t think they will be able to win any game unless their game against Salzburg, that is the game that I think they might have a bit hope on them, but for the rest they will just have to face the faith of draw of lose games. It’s not encouraging anymore PSG are not play well anymore.

Until week 10, Milan was still struggling outside the European zone in the Serie A standings with 9 matches. Last season Milan was in 2nd place in the standings even though they has a huge points gap compared to Inter, but this season is actually getting worse.

Currently, Milan is in 8th place in the Serie A standings with 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in 9 matches. Milan does not appear to be a match for Real Madrid this season, especially when the squad comparison between the two is the benchmark. However, there is nothing wrong with doubting the outcome of a match that will last more than 90 minutes including injury time, sometimes it is difficult to predict. But personally I agree, Milan looks likely to lose than win points in the match against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid might not score too much goals, but they will win Milan. They have players that are well experienced in the league and this is where Real Madrid do show what they are made of. Milan will play their best to see that Real Madrid would not take advantage of them by playing a defensive game, because if they attack too much, it will be an opportunity for Madrid to score more goals.

I was not impressed with PSG’s performance so far, I was expecting them to have gotten at least six points because Arsenal is the only big team they have played so far, their draw against PSV at home was the main reason for all this discussion because if they whoops have gotten the three points they could have a great advantage to remain in the competition based on their points. However, it is not too late to make it, but they can’t afford to lose much match which looks impossible on paper but we know how football work sometimes.
Despite the fact that they will play Bayern Munich and Manchester City as the top big teams among their opponents in the Champions League, I think they can still get something out of these two games if they played really well.

Defeating Atletico Madrid will not be easy for PSG because the team is struggling to score goals and Atletico Madrid knows how defend game, therefore, if the score PSG first, it might be game over for them because they hardly concede goals much. And Atletico Madrid will also be looking for ways to get three points against them because they needed the points more than PSG as they only have three points out of possible nine points.

PSG is now a the 19th place of the league phase table, not 24th.

Why 28th?
Take not that teams finishing the league phase at 9th to 24th places will go to knockout round play-offs and teams finishing the league phase at 25th to 36th places will be eliminated from the champions league.

Although the odds are quite small, choosing Real Madrid will provide a risk-free profit opportunity, unless AC Milan gets a miracle and Ancelotti squad plays badly. Looking at the condition of the team, it seems that AC Milan will not concede up to 5 goals, because after all they are very experienced in the Champions League. Regarding the condition of the squad, David Alaba, Carvajal, Courtois are still injured, and Rodrygo will most likely be available again.
Meanwhile, in the AC Milan camp, Paulo Fonseca is certain not to be able to field Tammy Abraham. Luka Jovic and Davide Calabria are reported to have recovered from injury. Overall, the Real Madrid versus AC Milan match is certain to be very interesting, even though at first glance Los Blancos are too dominant for AC Milan at this time.

Why is nobody talking about PSG in the Champions League? There is a big chance they won't make it to the round of 16 of the Champions League. They have managed only 4 points in 3 matches and sit in the 19th position, a few positions away from being knocked out of the playoffs positions. But that's not the most interesting past, the most interesting part is that they still have to play Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Stuttgart. The only team that's a small team here is Stuttgart and even they are very difficult to beat. Atletico Madrid is in poor form but they would be a very difficult match for PSG because they too want to turn their season around.
I don't see PSG wining any of Bayern or Man City

PSG's next match is against Atletico Madrid and if they're not able to win that game, they will be in so much trouble because that will see them drop beyond the 24th position. They need to wake up if they want to make it to the round of 16.

I think the decision you made was right to choose a bet for Real Madrid's victory and I will also follow you in placing a bet on this match. Because we see that AC Milan has not been in its best performance lately not only in the Champions League but also in the domestic league and in this match of course Real Madrid will not waste the opportunity to get three points to improve their ranking in the standings.

Real Madrid's superiority over AC Milan is not without reason, there are many advantages besides playing at home, in terms of the squad Real Madrid is certainly better than AC Milan even though Real Madrid's shortcomings are in the defenders, but in my opinion Real Madrid's midfield and front line are able to score many goals against AC Milan. On the other hand, Real Madrid this week does not have a match in the domestic league because the match against Valencia was reportedly postponed due to flooding, of course this is an advantage for Real Madrid because they have plenty of time to rest and more time to prepare for the match against AC Milan.

This is different from AC Milan this weekend they have to play against Monza first in the domestic league before playing against Real Madrid, of course this will affect the stamina of the players, especially if they lose against Monza, psychologically it will also be disturbed. but I think they will win against Monza even though the victory is not easy to get.

Unfortunately yes, Milan is still emerging from the condition it was in last year and is trying to find a balance.
I don't know this coach, he certainly doesn't have character and so if he can't find a player capable of being a real captain and leading the team, I see it badly.
We need a Gattuso or an Ibrahimovic.

The odds say everything for how the game plays out before it has even happened.
The thought of the bookmakers regarding Real Madrid's victory over Milan is overwhelming, unless a miracle happens it will take place in this way.
I only hope as an italian that it isn't a humiliating result like 5 - 0

Milan must work hard enough and make the right strategy to be able to get points from Madrid. In the previous match against Leverkusen and Liverpool, Milan lost. They are a strong team like Madrid. It will be very difficult to get points when facing Madrid. Madrid is not an unbeatable team, they also lost 1 time in the UCL and that gives Milan hope to get points in the next match if they can take advantage of the opportunity. Milan may not be without opportunities, but it all depends on the readiness of the players and the strategy they will use to face a team as strong as Madrid.

I think AC Milan will still have the chance to prove themselves when they face Real Madrid in Spain in their next champions league match, I think Real Madrid have the chances of winning since they are playing at home but then AC Milan knows that they are the weak team in the game and they know that they have a high chance to lose so they will try to better their performance in order not to lose again knowing the team they are playing against. The chances of Real Madrid winning may be high but they should not underestimate AC Milan because of their poor performance because Real Madrid as a team is not in their best performance and their lost against Barcelona in the league is a good evidence to show that any team can get a point against Real Madrid at home or away.

Yes I think the defeat in La Liga will not affect their performance in the UCL when facing AC Milan later, we have often seen Madrid always give their best in the UCL they can always get out of pressure and turn things around even with the current difficult situation after many important pillars were injured but Madrid still has a capable squad and fortunately Milan's performance is declining this condition will at least be very beneficial for Ancelotti's troops and playing at the Bernabeu is a good addition to increase the confidence of the players, I think even though it is not easy Madrid will win.
