Real Madrid are still favorites in the Champions League even though their performance this season is not very good. I know Real Madrid is a good team to hope to come back and improve their performance, so things will change so quickly for them. Real Madrid has lost 6 points from 4 matches, while they still have 4 matches that they can all win. The match against Liverpool is certainly very tough, but that doesn't mean Real Madrid will fail to win it.
If in the end Real Madrid loses this match, it will be their third defeat this season in the Champions League. Everything was getting heavier and more chaotic, but I didn't expect the defeat to become a reality.
It is hard to expect Real Madrid to be at their best every season, last season was a success for them and this time they have problems with injuries and it has mostly affected their defense. After they lost Carvajal it was clear that this would be a big problem for Real, after another injury to Courtois it got even worse and after an injury to Militao that kept him out for the rest of the season it got even worse. It is obvious that now the weakest line for Real is the defense and this may not allow them to achieve anything significant this season.
I don’t know if they’ve been a season that Real Madrid lost most of their top players to injury and didn’t do well that season? This has been a very big problem for Real Madrid and it’s really showing in their games of recent. When a team is good at attacking and their defense is very weak, such team tends to lose everything they’ve fought for once their opponent gets to know that defense is their weak point and they immediately penetrate through there and win their games. We can’t say much to a conclusion about Real Madrid issue now, they look very good and promising despite all this setback they have. I just feel they’re going to get a plan B that will push them through the season and not just give up after this players are out injured for the whole season. They still have a lot of time to decide and change things for themselves if they can quickly act upon and strategize again on what they have now.
