How can you predict an injury to a specific player? I somehow didn't get the gist of this reasoning. Or am I missing something? Even if a specific player has a special intention to harm someone specific. No one will give you such information, since this is a secret part of the strategy of the entire team and coaching staff.

Unfortunately, we are only given the ability to guess events and nothing more. Pure chance, if possible. Therefore, we need to approach this issue more factorially.

If Real Madrid's main strikers are not sidelined due to injury problems, Real Madrid may be as strong as ever against any team. Yesterday Real Madrid faced Celta Vigo in La Liga as they continued their winning streak. However, their team captain was absent in that match due to injury, but they won the match easily. Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham have been linked with Real Madrid but Brazilian young player Rodrigo has not been linked with the team. Yet his absence was never felt by Real Madrid yesterday as both Mbappe and Vinicius Junior scored a goal apiece to send their team to victory.

Borussia Dortmund have entered this season's UEFA Champions League as one of the best teams as they have already won their first two matches to top the standings. On the other hand, Real Madrid is 17th in the standings with just one win. According to the current statistics, Real Madrid is leading between these two teams.

If Real Madrid is a strong team in the Champions League, Dortmund is definitely strong as Real Madrid's opponent. Real Madrid will definitely be ahead in the upcoming Champions League match against Dortmund, but their club has several injury problems which may cause them to perform poorly in this match. But I will still trust Real Madrid considering that last season they didn't have many good players in their club and they had injury problems last season but still they won the Champions League title. 
So I think anything is possible with Real Madrid and they have the ability to do well with a weak team.

If there's a club that knows how to play the UEFA Champions League, it's no other the 15 time winners of the competition Real Madrid. Like y'all are saying, they might not be too convincing in their domestic league but when it comes to playing in the UEFA Champions League, they surely know how to get the best out of themselves. The reigning Spanish and European champions are currently hit by injuries to some of the team's most important players however, with the experienced Carlo Ancelotti as the club manager, I expect them to successfully defend the UCL title at the end of the season

Factually kompany has actually created a really different perspective for Bayern Munich after several attempts by other coaches who has been sacked because they couldn't get Bayern Munich to maintaining the records they had in the bundesliga long enough over several years. The key players in Madrid who have been injured which has been challenging to Madrid will be a challenge in the champions League fixtures but that wouldn't be enough to really get  them to be able win Madrid just easily, it's going to be a really hard and tough one but on the end there will be a winner who gets the complete points.

I see many other people they say Leverkusen is stronger than Brest because they are in a better league however they even can't have good performances in the Bundesliga like the other teams but still Leverkusen is in a different place and they are usually playing against harder teams than we usually see in the French League.
In fact, we see many strong teams in the Bundesliga while in the French League other than PSG, Monaco, and some other teams they are not strong and at the same level anymore.
This is maybe a good reason to say Leverkusen can beat Brest.

Looking at teams that will make it to the finals of the champions league competitions should be on hold for now until we see their progress as teams individually on how they make their way out if the first round of the champions league competition. I know there are many teams that have that potential to make it out and we don’t need to wait to see how far the matches left for them to finish this round. But this is football, we just have to wait to see what comes of them all by the end of the round before we can picture them for the next round and possibly making it to the finals.


The name given to them by people as the king of the champions league is really a name that is most deserving for them because of their performance and trajectories they’ve had in the champions legaue so far and also how many times they’ve won it since the inception of it. I am very confident in them whenever they play in the champions league and how they are able to go for victory no matter the condition of the team at that time. Even with this their injuries, I don’t see them less of a team that can’t win any match. They may even be in their best form now in the champions league and you’ll be surprised that they’ll make the best records in the competition until their players gets back all.

What is clear is that Liverpool's players already understand very well the gameplay they play in every match in various competitions, so Arne Slot doesn't need to bother rebuilding like when a team experiences a drastic decline in performance. the first thing he did was study every potential of Liverpool players, that's why there was a little difference in what Arne Slot did with his team. and it seems, Arne Slot's arrival was warmly welcomed by The Red's players and they have communication that is established between one and another. bonds and chemistry began to form, so that this team was able to immediately adapt to its new coach. but after all, the League has only been running for a few weeks. in the next matches, Liverpool will meet strong opponents. especially if Liverpool is able to qualify for the last 16, at least it is progress for the coach with the team he has just handled. in fact, Liverpool did not bring in many newcomers in the summer transfer window. but so far Liverpool have played their games quite well, both in the Domestic League and in the Champions League. Well, the next few weeks will be a real challenge for Liverpool's new coach, because their opponents in the next few weeks are not easy teams to beat. Liverpool has the potential to slip, especially with a tight schedule and a strong opposing team. against Leipzig, is the second challenge after defeating Milan.

Yeah, Real Madrid are really different in the La Liga. They are the king of these lands.    Even in a season they look not good enough, they still find a way out.

It is like a tradition. Players change but the ecole stands tall.    This is why I always put them to the top of my title contenders list in this competition. For example, they weren't in their best shape last season. But it happened anyway. What do you say for this season?  Another similar scenario?

Somehow when I see Real Madrid in the Champions League I see them more different from what I see them in La Liga. Yes they always have their own way to be able to win, no matter if they are not playing so well in La Liga. Like last season when they faced Manchester City. I am very sure that most people believe in Manchester City, but they are the ones who can win even though in terms of play they are far behind Manchester City. But their advantage is in their mentality which I think they are the best club in mentality. The players who join Real Madrid always have a very good mentality.

Speaking in the future we will not know what will happen to Liverpool because it is difficult to anticipate when speaking of problems in the future, but some things can be anticipated from now on, whether it's injury or anything, because the occurrence of injury sometimes due to negligence In the players themselves and the understanding of the coach to the players, then to make bad things can be overcome before there is a need for deeper precautions so that the players do not experience injury, yes even though it could be violated by the enemy team intentionally on the match or the match , the most important thing is not because of the negligence of the player himself, making one of them experience injury.

Chelsea’s performance this season so far since the season began has been very encouraging and this makes me feel very confident in Chelsea that they’re going to make it to the champions league by next season, I mean they’ll make the top four of the premier league if they continue in this form and will give them automatic qualification to the champions league. It’s been a while they played in the champions league and been a two times winner of the competition, they ought to try as much as possible to win more and experience the most competitive football in the world. Liverpool are also doing great and all thanks to their new coach, Arne slot who have revamped the team into what they are now and currently occupying the first position on the table. The Bundesliga is also more interesting than before and I’m sure they’ll also make a nice competition there as many teams have improved in performance and battling for the top spot too.

Well, I'm also a Real Madrid fan and I think the same. Of course, they are defending champions. Some teams may have made things a bit complicated, but I'm sure that they will get through it and can undoubtedly reach the final, just as many say that City can do it. Well, I think it's not such a bad thing to say, they have the team, they have the players that are making history, they are having a good moment with their national teams, so that is worth taking advantage Of course , there is still a long way to go in the UCL, but I'm sure that they can go far, why not? to a finalAgain.

We excluded Chelsea as they are not playing in the UCL this season.  So far, Arne Slot is still a hot topic after being able to become the right successor to Jurgen Klopp. Kompany also put any doubters to rest by improving Bayern Munich's quality after they suffered a slump last season under Tuchel. The competition in UCL will be more competitive after several big teams returned to their best form, on the other hand, Real Madrid is experiencing problems in its defense after several key players were injured, Ancelotti must struggle hard to balance his squad in order to defend the title won last season.

@Hanadawa, I quite agree with your thinking, because I think that actually Klopp has left a squad that is really quite capable at the moment, making it easy for Arne Slot to bring Liverpool to be a consistent team and have a pretty good performance in the league, slot has and just done a little bit of its work because after all currently the squad owned by Liverpool has been very compact and so they are easy to adapt to the game that owned by Slot, besides that I think the style of play developed by Slot at Liverpool is also no different from Klopp previous style of play, both coaches apply high pressing high every game and Slot has only made a slight adjustment in Liverpool midfield at the moment with keeping the balance of the midfield as the center of their game.

It's not about playing hard and strong though it contributes but "smartness will still prevail", they have everything to beat Dortmund actually but it seems they aren't on a good stand this season. Last year championship was 2-goals to nil but I don't think they 've ever had it easy playing with Dortmund even though they might have the most win if compared , there was alot of draws on their game and this one might come with a draw or a win.
Thus, determining which team is what seems to be unknown because Realmadrid might actually put on a good performance,  Dortmund on the other hand seem to be top on the table which means they cam also surprise Realmadrid with a countering performance  or it could be a tie... there's just alot of unpredictable outcomes that might hold for the game

Even though it will be a tough match for Madrid, they should still be favored in the match. Dortmund is indeed quite good in the Champions League, unlike Madrid who has some obstacles.
Ancelotti must have a way to beat Dortmund. there is no choice for Madrid but to win because their next opponents are also quite difficult. this match is like a repeat of the last Champions League final. Madrid will probably win the match with the same score, or at least a 1 goal difference.

Yes because Real Madrid's performance is good and because of that they have won a lot of matches and set their standards.They are well liked and people bet on them and this team does not disappoint people.If they play hard and strong, they can beat Dortmund too. However, Real Madrid is strong and will play and win matches against them. Real Madrid also knows this because they are in a good position at the moment. If they lose to him, they will have to lose quite a match. Due to which Real Madrid will suffer a lot, they will definitely win this match.

Of course this is not a small problem faced by Real Madrid after losing several important players in the squad and with a tight match schedule it will be difficult for Ancelotti. But we can also see like in the previous season where Real Madrid also lost some important players but the coach has a solution. Facing Celta Vigo is also not an easy matter because the coach must try to rotate so that when facing Dortmund Real Madrid's strength can be much more optimal.

The difficult work that needs to be maximized by Ancelotti in the next few weeks and he must find the right strategy so as not to lose points especially in La Liga and the Champions League. However Real Madrid's current condition, I am sure that Ancelotti can definitely overcome well and they also have talented young players who can be played to cover up several players who are injured.

I think Arne Slot is a little bit different. Most managers usually replace old managers because they can't give good results for their clubs. The team is in bad form and the new manager has to experiment to get good tactics. This is different from Liverpool where last season Liverpool was one of the title contenders and Klopp was not fired but decided to retire because he wanted to take a break from football. Arne Slot just needed to do some improvisation and luckily Arne Slot was able to immediately get the chemistry that made Liverpool appear very solid this season.
