Their 7th match will be against Salzbrug and their 8th match will be against Brest, statistically they do look below Real Madrid but anything can happen. If they win, of course the end of the Madrid league will get 15 points. But you have to know that the team above Real Madrid also has the same chance to win 2 times. So I think they'll have a hard time getting into the top 8. They seem to have to go through the playoffs. The change in format made everything change. It seems that this season's UCL champion will also be different.
I have no doubt that Real will make it to the playoffs, and then in head-to-head matches we will see another team, I have no doubt that Ancelotti knows how to set up players for important games and I can’t imagine who can beat Real now, with the exception of a few teams, perhaps Liverpool can do it, but it will depend on the draw, at what stage they will meet, maybe only in the final, and then everything will be decided by one match, so don’t rush to conclusions.
This is true, Ancelotti had some bad seasons too, like that season when Barcelona won the league and Real also lost the UCL as well, that season they won nothing and that was a bad season, but usually during his tenure, they win more than they lose.
So I think when this group stage is over, we are going to see them do much better, and we are going to see them have a lot better results without a doubt, it is not going to be easy, but it is going to happen and we will see them do fine, it is going to be very strong without a doubt.
At playoff stage, I check the teams between 9th place and 24th place and there aren't that many teams that can rival Real Madrid to be fair, do not think that it would be that easy to beat them. Considering how strong of a team they built, the only reason they are this much down is because they are looking at something that is looking a bit different and because of that we are going to end up with a much different approach.
