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.

Regarding Madrid's match against Salzburg, we don't need to worry because Madrid will win easily to get full points in the match. Although some defenders are injured, we all know that the current substitute players are also very qualified and can also be relied on. On the one hand, Mbappe has begun to have great confidence to continue to contribute well to help Madrid provide great opportunities in the UCL. And for concerns about injured players, it seems that Ancelotti will not remain silent seeing the current squad conditions and we can just see the surprise that Ancelotti will give by bringing in new players with very good quality.

Currently Madrid are ranked 20th in the Champions League standings and with two more matches left of course at this time their chances of automatic qualification to the round of 16 have been closed, so the only way for them is to fight to qualify through the playoffs, facing Salzburg maybe some of us think the match will be easy for them to win, but we should not forget that currently Madrid condition is not stable and it also allows every opponent they can give a surprise in that match, Madrid is indeed in a strong position although there are some of their players injured, but still they should not underestimate Salzburg in the match later, because after all Salzburg also has the motivation and ambition to be able to beat a big team as Madrid although their chances for win and qualifying are very small.
