Every season we have similar predictions, we will always put Real Madrid far from the top, we will always disrespect them and they will always prove us wrong. Underrate Real Madrid at your own peril. Whether they are inform or not, provided that they are in the Champions League always rate the first. As long as it is the Champions League, never bet that Real Madrid will lose the match, this is how it should be until it is proven wrong, but till then, I put Real Madrid at the top of your chart. Sorry if this offends you.
Agreed, I think this is the reason why Real Madrid keeps destroying any team they come across in the Champions League especially when they get to the knockout stages. The bookmarkers have always belittled the capability of Real Madrid even after being the only team that has won the trophy back to back yet they are not recognized anyday as the favorite to the competition or probably one of the major contenders to the league. As it is now Madrid remains the favorite to me because they have the experience and the energy required to play and win games in the Champions League, they will always be the first team to be nominated if am to do so because they got what it takes to win it again.
