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.
Real Madrid's performance this season in the Champions League can be said to be quite bad. Because the teams that should be struggling to compete for the top rankings are currently struggling to qualify for the play-offs. And actually Real Madrid's current position is not completely safe. If Real Madrid wants to maintain its current ranking in the UCL then there is no other choice for Real Madrid but to win the next match and the next. Because that way Real Madrid can at least qualify for the play-offs. But to qualify for the next stage I think is almost impossible. Because currently Real Madrid and the team ranked 8th have a difference of 4 points. And yes, chasing their points is not enough by just winning one match. And it is possible that LOSC, which is currently ranked 8th, can add points from the remaining two matches. So it could be said that Real Madrid's hope of qualifying for the next stage is only by having to go through the Play-off round first.
