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.
Honestly, it's not easy for any team when key players suffer injuries. It will definitely affect their performance, but the issue of Real Madrid players currently being injured, I don't think it will affect them in the Champions League right now because it's still the group stage. In the group stage, there is always a good opportunity for big teams to qualify for the next round because they often face teams that even their second-string players can defeat. So, in that regard, I have confidence in Real Madrid. They have good replacements for those injured players, and I believe that by the later stages of the Champions League, some players will have returned from injury.it may be a little challenging for the coach right now, but I trust that he will find solutions to these problems. Let's see what happens as the Champions League starts and observe their performances.
