Last season Real Madrid won the league which some people never expected. It is too early to predict which team will champions league , Real Madrid may not be in the best form but they still have the chance to win.
all teams that have successfully qualified for the UCL will take every match seriously. but Madrid has a big problem with several players who are currently injured while defending the national team during the international break. a big loss for Madrid because the first UCL match will start immediately after the international break is over.
although Madrid always shows good performance in the UCL, losing some players who are the main squad choices will certainly frustrate the coach. hopefully, the injured players are not serious.
Yes, that's what Real Madrid is currently experiencing, many of their core players are injured and that will affect their game, their strength will clearly be reduced in the first match later in the UCL against Stuttgart, seeing the storm of injuries experienced by Real Madrid can be utilized by Stuttgart by achieving positive results. But it seems that Ancelloti already has a plan to maintain the stability of his team, let's just wait and see what Ancelloti will do for all of that.
