Madrid is still bad for the UCL this season. The next match on the 23rd is against Salzburg. Madrid must win to keep the chance to improve the ranking. Although currently they are still in a position to enter the next phase through the playoffs. They should be able to take advantage of the moment to maximize points so that they can directly enter the next phase.

Furthermore, Madrid may improve the players. They can take advantage of the transfer market. Another problem is that many players are still injured so Madrid does not have many substitution options. So we can see this season is a little bad for Madrid in the UCL.
