We excluded Chelsea as they are not playing in the UCL this season. So far, Arne Slot is still a hot topic after being able to become the right successor to Jurgen Klopp. Kompany also put any doubters to rest by improving Bayern Munich's quality after they suffered a slump last season under Tuchel. The competition in UCL will be more competitive after several big teams returned to their best form, on the other hand, Real Madrid is experiencing problems in its defense after several key players were injured, Ancelotti must struggle hard to balance his squad in order to defend the title won last season.
Factually kompany has actually created a really different perspective for Bayern Munich after several attempts by other coaches who has been sacked because they couldn't get Bayern Munich to maintaining the records they had in the bundesliga long enough over several years. The key players in Madrid who have been injured which has been challenging to Madrid will be a challenge in the champions League fixtures but that wouldn't be enough to really get them to be able win Madrid just easily, it's going to be a really hard and tough one but on the end there will be a winner who gets the complete points.
Currently for Kompany has given a new situation for Munich playing with the ball and making a very dangerous attacking style he has a good strategy at the moment, in the Bundesliga he can optimize it well but talking about the Champions League his strategy is not so effective and I think they will not be there this year, because the competition of players and especially the Coach in determining Kompany's strategy is still behind and I think Kompany still needs time to launch everything facing Barcelona will be proof of how far he is able to contribute this season for Munich.
Real Madrid is indeed not in good condition their players are injured and at the moment I see they have not worked optimally and found each other and that takes a process and I think losing some players does not have much effect on them but on the contrary they must be able to optimize each other because at the moment they are not enough as a team.
