I'm sure no one thinks that Real Madrid won the Champions League last season by chance because they were able to beat a top team not just once but since the quarter-finals they were not favorites but in fact they were able to answer this doubt.
What Real Madrid has done on the Champions League stage is inseparable from the high and good mentality of this team and the mentality of the Real Madrid team above other teams.
Likewise this season, Real Madrid is not more favored than Bayern or Manchester City, but no one dares to underestimate Real Madrid because it is very possible for them to repeat the same thing as last season.
Real Madrid has the opportunity to win the Champions League again this season, at first why there were doubts about them because they also saw how they were not so good in the league but when they were past the group phase they began to show themselves as one of the best and deserve to be reckoned with, and victory against Liverpool at Anfield with a big score even though they had been trailing 0-2 that made them even more favorites for this season, plus the draw for the quarterfinals was a little advantage because they met Chelsea which was very bad this season and the change of coach has not made any significant changes and against Real Madrid will be a miracle if Chelsea can get rid of Madrid and I'm not sure there will be a miracle in this quarter-final, and aside from Madrid, Bayern are the other favorites so City will be eliminated in this quarter-final.
In the last few years, Real has been playing much better in cup competitions than in the national championship, and that is no accident.
Real's coaches have not been building a system and organization of the game for a long time, but rely much more on the individual quality of the players.
In the championship, such shortcomings cannot be hidden for long and Real always have problems, but in the Champions League it is much easier for Real because they only need to focus on a few of the most important games in the season.
In such situations, Real players have a lot of experience and confidence and always play at the highest level.
This is why Real should never be underestimated in the Champions League, regardless of the weaker games in the national championship.
