With Carlo Ancelotti as their coach Madrid usually gets better when they add new players to team. Right now they are getting used to new players and dealing with some of their best players being injured. But these problems will not be big deal once they make it to next round.
The previous season was like that, but today they were quite difficult. They have played 6 matches and the result is that they are at number 20. They still have 2 matches left. It seems that Real Madrid must enter the Play-Off phase to qualify for the next phase. There are still chances but they are worse than the previous season. If Real Madrid wants to improve the team's condition, then they must take advantage of this transfer market moment. They must start preparing players to replace players who are starting to age like Modric.
