I think that is an obligation that other teams have to do and maybe it requires strategy to a decent squad depth to be able to do it. If any team makes it to the final round and faces Real Madrid then it is clear that they will not be able to win the title and Real Madrid will be the champions. Therefore, before reaching the final round, Real Madrid must be knocked out in the quarters or semifinals because otherwise they will continue to dominate the Champions League.
Like last season where Manchester City eliminated Madrid before the UCL final and finally Manchester City became UCL champions for the first time stopping Madrid's dominance in the UCL by beating Intermilan in the final, but unfortunately last season Manchester City failed to eliminate Madrid. There was a clear opportunity for Madrid to chase the trophy. The UCL went smoothly and beat Dortmund in the UCL final, but in the new season there will be many surprises and I also hope that not only Manchester City but there are other teams that can beat Madrid but no one has been able to beat them except strong teams like Manchester City or Munich. Moreover, Madrid has the new strength of Mbappe, it is clear that it will also make it difficult for other teams to break their dominance in the UCL next season.
When facing Real Madrid in the Champions League final, it will be very difficult to beat them. Statistics say that of the 18 times they reached the Champions League final, they only lost 3 times and they managed to win the other 15. From there we can see that Real Madrid's winning percentage in the final is very high, so I agree that it is easier to beat Real Madrid before they reach the final. In fact I can't remember the last time they lost in the Champions League final.
Real Madrid's mentality is the mentality that I think is the strongest at the moment, with that they can be helped. In fact, in several matches they had to fall behind first, then they were able to equalize and even reverse the situation. The situation when they are left behind is a situation where a team's mentality must be very good, because otherwise they will be pessimistic about achieving victory. That doesn't apply to Real Madrid, because they will continue to be optimistic before the match actually ends.
