Real madrid performance in last season was very terrible that small teams were able to defeat them several times in the season. Real Madrid struggled both in Premier league and in Champions league, but this season Real Madrid have brought some players that will be really good in performance, the bad performance of Real Madrid last season is something they would not want to allow to repeat again this season. The Champions league has always been a target to Real Madrid which they really need to win it this season.
Probably, Real Madrid has bad performance last season behind 10 points left from Barcelona who won La Liga tittle, Carlo Ancelotti looks priority with Champion League competition than domestic league and finally both competition loss and Madrid won Copa Del Rey only. Little difference for this season after Real Madrid success bringing several top player and looks strong composition, but still have weakness space after Karim Benzema departure to Al Ahli still not finding the same level replacement for striker position.
Current transfer activities, Real Madrid has better transfer than Barcelona and other teams in Liga and I sure this season looks difference for Real Madrid winning domestic league and get back UEFA Champion League.
