From the past to the present and in the future, Real Madrid will remain an absolute team that should be considered dangerous. Not because of the players or coaches because of Real Madrid's big name as the strongest team in the world. Moreover, Jude Bellingham has chosen the right club to play for Real Madrid this season, of course this will be a calculation for every opponent in the UCL.
That's why I'm a little surprised that someone doubts Real Madrid's ability against Braga, it's true that in football anything can happen, but if you look at the strength of the team, it seems a bit confusing if someone believes that Braga can beat Real Madrid.
Real Madrid does not win any matches and titles because of the big name and history of the club, but it is because of the strategy of the coach and the quality of the players. If they won it all because of the club's big name and history, then Milan and Manchester United should always be able to dominate the Premier League, Serie A and Champions League because of their name.
Real Madrid is a big team with good squad depth. Look and compare with the squad depth of other teams so you have to say one fact that Real Madrid did that because of the coach and the squad.
I agree with you Falconer that it is the quality of coach and players that has made Real Madrid the best club in the world, ever since history. I could remember was I was still in college years back, I and my friend, we so call Real Madrid an all star club because you must have build yourself and make name before you can play in Real Madrid.
The have the money and they know what they want, so they spend their money for the best players and coach to enable them be as successful as this. If you also look at this right now, they are still following their same old pattern, which is getting the best because they have seen the benefits of having the best players in their club.
