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.
An injury to a player certainly spells bad news for a team. It is normal for players to get injured, teams are always prepared with players' injury potential in mind. Since Real Madrid are the champions team, they will definitely show professionalism here. While dropping some players from the main squad will disappoint the head coach, they can rely on the backup players here, without which they will have no choice (if the tested players are not fit to play). I don't think Real Madrid's squad will be disappointing for any reason, as they have enough backup players and many star players. I believe their best player Kylian Mbappe will return to form very soon and he will know his breed. There are some other star players who have already proved their worth, maybe they are not in the best form but we can expect them to return to form very soon.
