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.

Madrid is a team that we can currently consider very perfect in terms of squad quality, mentality and performance, but they can still be beaten by a team that has a better game strategy than Ancelotti, a draw against Mallorca is of course a It's a surprise for us when a team that isn't the favorite is actually able to hold a strong team like Madrid to a draw, so this should make us realize that there really isn't a team that can't be beaten in today football and of course we no longer deserve to underestimate other teams that are not be favorite team in the Champions League so far, but apart from that, what Madrid has achieved in La Liga should not be a reference for us to doubt Madrid capacity in the UCL this season.

If we look at the current big European leagues, many of the big teams got negative results in their first match and that's actually quite normal considering the many changes that occurred in the squad during the break some time ago, so I think we can't judge too quickly assess that a team like Madrid will continue to decline after negative results in their first match, so far we know how Madrid continues to recover from every defeat so I think yesterday draw result will of course be an evaluation material for Ancelotti to maximize their squad in the next match in the champions league and domestic league.
