This is an important situation to do for Madrid because apart from stabilizing the position in the standings, this match can also make their mentality even more improved before the El Clasico match in domestic competition so that Madrid with the current favorite must be maximized well for week 3 later.
This match is very important for Real Madrid. Because the Real Madrid team lost against Lille in the last match of the Champions League. So Real Madrid must win against Dortmund if they want to stay at the top of the table. At the moment, Real Madrid is in the 17th place in the Champions League points table. So the match against Dortmund is very important for Real Madrid. At the same time, Real Madrid will play against Barcelona after this match. Madrid will also need to win against Barcelona if they want to occupy the top spot in the La Liga table. It will be very difficult for Madrid to win two games in a row.
Now looking at the actual composition of the players Ancelotti will experience some difficult situations considering several players are definitely going to be absent considering Carvajal, Alaba and Brahim they are already difficult to expect because for Alaba and Brahim it is possible that halfway through the season they will recover and Carvajal of course we know his ACL takes time until the end of the season.
Courtois, Vini and Militao are also still recovering although they might be available for the game against Dortmund but this is still speculation depending on how their recovery goes.
So by looking at this situation it will be interesting whether Ancelotti will eventually be able to maintain their condition in terms of performance or not because after all this is a situation that will certainly be very difficult but this kind of thing is a normal condition for them because every year they always get the same problem. But even so, things like this are still a difficult situation because after all, with the current busy schedule, of course, conditions like this will have an impact at least for performance in several matches and it could be that big matches such as against Dortmund and Barcelona will be hampered.
