It was actually a bit surprising when Madrid started their campaign this season with an unstable performance, because Ancelotti has the ideal squad depth. However, sometimes not all plans can run smoothly as expected, because everything takes time to process, I think this condition is very natural, and I also assume that Ancelotti squad will soon recover and go through this phase with ease. Madrid is used to going through every pressure in every season, and Ancelotti has a wealth of experience to guide his troops back on track.
If Ancelotti finds his squad back in good condition, I believe Madrid can perform consistently in the future in various competitions. Currently, at least 7 Madrid players are injured, with varying recovery times. But once again, Ancelotti has a number of rotation options that are almost as good, so there is no excessive worry about them. In addition, Mbappe has shown signs of being on fire, chemistry with other players is starting to form, and I predict that the former PSG striker can have a significant influence on Madrid goal productivity this season.
Madrid has always been able to overcome pressure in the competition, they are truly extraordinary. but it must be admitted that Madrid this time will face quite difficult teams too. Madrid must be able to beat Stuttgart, Lille, Dortmund, Milan, Liverpool, Atalanta, Salzburg, and Brest.
This is a not-so-good first round for them, but a more interesting system when bringing together strong teams at the beginning without worrying about them being eliminated early. but I'm sure Ancelotti also has to work extra hard to prepare his players. I hope some of the injured will recover soon and succeed in supporting the team. because with the density of matches of course the strategy of rotating players will be very important. and strong teams like Madrid are certainly more favored.
