Talking about the mentality of the players and the experience of the coach, Real Madrid has not experienced any problems in navigating this season, but injury problems can change everything, especially since Real Madrid is active in several different competitions. The season is still long and there are many matches to be played, the limited number of players will make it difficult for Ancelotti to formulate a strategy, especially since he also needs to rotate because of the very tight schedule. I really hope Real Madrid can maintain their performance, but if more and more of their players are injured, Real Madrid will have a hard time competing with other favorite teams, especially this season there will be many surprises in the UCL after the new format is implemented.
The season is still long and there are still many matches to be played, making me agree that this is a special consideration that needs to be remembered regarding Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is not a mid-level team and they are always in a lucky position when the assumption arises that they will lose their place in this tournament with the opportunities available so that the words addressed to them are big name and champion mentality.
Behind all that, it is still possible that this season in the Champions League our predictions will be wrong against them even though the opportunity to end the competition too early is still not visible.
They are actually very successful in the Champions League in general. In recent years, as far as I remember, there were times when they played successful matches in the Champions League and unsuccessful matches in La Liga. That's why it's true that Real Madrid cares more about the Champions League than the league. They lost points in La Liga, but they can make up for it because they have a long league marathon ahead of them, but if they make mistakes in the Champions League, it will be very difficult to make up for it because they will play very few matches.
