The injuries of players that continue to befall the Madrid squad at the moment, greatly affect their performance and game, the injuries of some key players have made them lose their consistency and strength, what you say I think is quite true, the 2 defeats they got in the UCL this season have shown their performance has declined drastically, let alone the defeat they got was from a team weaker than them, So Ancelotti should start trying to find the solution from weaknesses of his current team, because if not then it seems that we have to exclude them this season as the favorite teams in the UCL this season
And if am not mistaken Madrid have at least four players that are on injury and they might not even be the key players because even before all this injuries there performance has already dropped and they are doing everything possible to get back in line but it's still not the same and if Madrid is using injuries as an excuse they have been having players go on injuries and they were still able to maintain their consistency so this is not the first time that they have been participating, they should get a better excuse. And the way their performance have dropped no one expected it to be this season because the expectations of everyone is that they will bag the champions league and the la liga all together all this was because of mbappe thay was been signed in they and the next excuse was that his trying to get use to the league. And you can not tell me that mbappe have not gotten use to that league after countless games played.
