It will be really bad for Real Madrid if they can't secure a victory in the quarter finals of the Champions League after a good performance. Because if Real Madrid can secure this year's Champions League title, I think this team will be one step ahead of all the teams in the world.
Unfortunately this year won't be like the previous years where Madrid won the La Liga, Champions League and everything in between. There are many teams who have also kept good form this season who are even more qualified than Madrid. Napoli is on fire, Bayern now has Tuchel, Mancity is on heavy fire and Haaland is eager to lift his first ever champions League. Madrid will have to pay dearly if the must reach the final to start with. The competition is too stiff to believe Madrid has advantage not even with the return of Benzema
