ThisThis looks looks funny, though I can see that you really put too much hope on Real Madrid, although they are strong and they will be able to concur with any team that comes their way, but sometimes football is all about luck, although I know that how professional you are can also contribute, but still, at some point, luck plays its own role. Don't rush and give novices advice to always bet on Real Madrid at their own risk; it will be better if they do what they think will favor them.
Regardless of luck in football, when you’re good and have experience and also know how to play the game better, you’ll always be the most favored anytime you play and you’ll always win most of your matches. Real Madrid has gathered a lot of experience that you don’t need to doubt them anymore, they’re the best in their league and also the best in the champions league being the defending champions. When they play, we always assume that they’ll win the match and no other team can stand them. Luck also plays its role in football but luck still comes to those who try and try to put some effort into winning that’s the only way luck will work for them. Smaller teams are less lucky because efforts they put are minimal and they lack that experience unlike the big teams.
I agree with you, that there is a luck in the competition but if any team fail to display quality performance from the beginning of the competition to position in a good position, I think it will be difficult for such team to experience the luck from the competition, because it go along with the team experience. For example, Real Midred that won last champion league title, I can still remember that many people thought that Manchester city or other teams will be the one to win the title but based on Real Midred preparation for the competition and their performance from the competition made them to embrace the luck from the tournament last season. That is what is still going to happen in this season, because the smaller teams are not ready to purchase some new players to boost their performance which it will be difficult for them to experience the luck in this season again.
