I'm still very much optimistic about Madrid and their chances in the Champions League, at least they have the assurance of getting past the group stage of the champions league so that is enough to get them in the mentality to want to win the champions league title this season, so most likely they are going to find a way around it as they are very experienced when it has to do with the champions.
The mentality of everyone is quite different in this current season. The UEFA Champions League is priority for all elite teams presents. This is one of the golden opportunities for other teams to anticipate in the UCL race because the one team that have gained huge odds of winning games is not in form. Real Madrid are struggling this season and it's been cleared after watching their domestic league games.
Real Madrid gradually bouncing back to epic form and winning matches is obviously a prime target for them. Carlo Ancelotti working extremely hard to knot the ties in his team, they've suffered defeats and also recorded winnings, but there's more chances of conquering matches if they keep a clean plate. Carlo Ancelotti have to bring in new players to strengthen his squad because injury blow now becomes a challenge for them.
