When a new season starts and when different teams play a few matches in the beginning we get an idea about different teams and accordingly predict a team that this team can reach this level this season but everything can be said about Real Madrid. It's not just that Real Madrid have strengthened their squad this season, they always focus on strengthening their squad in all aspects. And the most important thing is that Real Madrid has consistency and each player has a good understanding with each player which is why they are successful in almost every match and they will be successful in the next season.
The description of the form of play is not only seen in the Champions League because there may be other factors such as consistency of play in the domestic league. Although sometimes that is not a guarantee for them to play well in the Champions League or vice versa for many teams. For example, Dortmund played not very consistently in the Bundesliga, but they managed to advance to the final round where they were ultimately defeated by Real Madrid. Likewise, Arsenal and Man City played quite consistently in the Premier League, but they failed in the Champions League.
There are many factors that make a team play more consistently, especially in the Champions League because the competition in that league is quite tight. Experience, mentality and players and coaches really determine how they are able to reach the end of the final as champions
The attacking depth this season from Real Madrid is very good. They have added Mbappe who will be a very big asset to the team if he is able to adjust properly and put his ego aside which I think he has done. I am saying this because of what I saw from their match against Atalanta. But still, I think Real Madrid has some work to do.
Real Madrid’s weakness I think is their weakest point right now, although I am calling it weak, it is not really that weak and best in Europe probably. But what I am concerned about their defense is its depth. Its depth is very low, now that Nacho Fernandez has left Real Madrid. Alaba was never a good center-back to me. Militao and Rudiger are their first-team defenders. On his day, Militao is very good but I think he is very inconsistent. I think Real Madrid should invest in a very good center-back and increase its depth. But if this team is consistent and can keep the form of last season, they might win all 3 competitions this season.
