I just saw Real Madrid's "elite" team get held to a 1-1 draw in their first La Liga game. A few weeks ago, everyone was so sure that this Madrid team will destroy any and all teams that go against them especially in the champions league but here we have a tier 3 team giving them a run for their money. If Mallorca can give them some heat, I'm pretty sure teams in the UCL will do much more. Let's hope it's not a case of Deja vu remembering that Messi + Mbappe + Neymar couldn't shake teams the way we expected them to. We'll know in the next few weeks.
You are too quick to judge just by one match, there is still plenty of time for Ancelotti to find his best formation. Currently Ancelotti has not found the best formation after losing Kross and the presence of Mbappe in the front line. Real Madrid's front line has not found the right chemistry, so it is natural that their first match in Laliga ended in a draw and I don't think it will affect the Champions League because Real Madrid will have a different passion when playing in the Champions League.
However, the match against Mallorca will be the best result for Real Madrid to improve themselves in the next match. In this match, it was very clear that Mallorca's defense line was very solid and Real Madrid's attacks were less creative. In addition, if you look at it, after the BBC trio era, Real Madrid has always had a bit of difficulty winning at Mallorca's home every season. Mallorca always goes all out every time they face Madrid like a final. But never mind, be grateful for this result, this is just the beginning, Ancelotti will definitely continue to improve to face the Champions League to be stronger.
