The number of competitions that Madrid has to play certainly forces them to be able to rotate players well, as a big team and handled by experienced coach, of course they don't want to lose a single trophy from the competition they participate in ,so I think all competitions will certainly be played seriously and not just La Liga and the Champions League, see the number of injured players at the moment, Madrid journey may be a little difficult, but that doesn't mean they won't focus on all of these competitions, because we know how Madrid and Ancelotti have had great ambitions to win every trophy so far.

The player injuries experienced by Real Madrid at this time could indeed be an obstacle for Real Madrid to perform well in every match, but I also believe in the level of consistency of the current Real Madrid team. Because Real Madrid's mentality in the Champions League is always very big and Ancelotti himself certainly knows what to do and give his best for the team with the current conditions even though one of them is having to be smart enough in rotating players when the match schedule looks quite close for several competitions.

Real Madrid team has been plagued by multiple injuries yet how they come back in a big way at the crucial time of the season. Karim Benzema left Real Madrid a few seasons ago and when the striker played for Real Madrid he was the only striker for Real Madrid. But after the departure of Karim Benzema, Real Madrid have not recruited any players to their club even though they have tried to bring Mbappe into the team. Mbappe officially joined Real Madrid in 2024, but since Benzema's departure to Mbappe's arrival at the club, Real Madrid have played without a main striker. Jude Bellingholm was bought by Real Madrid as a midfielder but the player played in the finishing position due to the lack of a main finisher. So even if there are injury problems, I don't think Real Madrid will fail to do well because of these problems.

You have summarized the process, but even if there is an injury, I think Real Madrid can produce many alternatives for Mbappe. Although Joselu did not play very efficiently last year, they got extra performance with Bellingham. We can see similar things this year. Ancelotti can pull a rabbit out of the hat again. He is a very successful coach in training players for other positions. I am sure he has also planned for Mbappe's absence.

Real Madrid have many alternatives for their front line, the problem this season is how Ancelotti can maximize his midfield position after Toni Kroos left. The position left by Kroos is very crucial and I see no suitable replacement for that position. If the role of the midfield improves I think it will not be so difficult for Madrid to maintain their consistency this season.

I think there was a big gap in that area after Toni Kroos left football. Real Madrid has not filled this gap yet, but maybe they can get a player there in the mid-season transfer window. Of course, it depends on how they will proceed until the mid-season transfer window. If they draw a bad graph, I'm sure they can consider a transfer instead of Kroos.
