The Real Madrid coach is not a fool when it comes to placing players and also when it comes to choosing players to replace players who have left the Real Madrid team. Currently, everyone still admits that Manchester City is a team that is quite strong in the Champions League and also in the Premier League itself, but everyone probably still hasn't forgotten that Real Madrid is a very successful team in the Champions League so that at the moment it is still quite dangerous for other teams in terms of title contention.
Yep, it's true that Carlo Anceloti is a coach who is smart in setting strategy and rotating players, even though Real Madrid no longer has Karim Benzema at the club, in fact Real Madrid is still a strong club in La Liga and also the Champions League, even this season Real Madrid is at the top of the La Liga standings. League and will probably get the domestic league title. Karim Benzema has indeed had a big influence on the Real Madrid club, but Real Madrid has accepted the situation and has moved on. So the absence of Karim Benzema is no longer a problem for Real Madrid at this time.
It is true that Real Madrid's strikers are not as strong as Manchester City's strikers, but with the unity of all the players that Real Madrid has, they will become a strong club that can dominate and perhaps avenge their defeat last season when they were defeated by Manchester City. Vinicius Junior, Juselu, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham will be ready to battle on the pitch to meet Manchester City.
I can't wait for this crucial match which will certainly be very interesting to watch and it is difficult to predict who will win this round. Manchester City is a strong Premier League club as well as Real Madrid, which has a good performance in the Champions League, a very exciting battle.
