I admire Real Madrid. They are a winner in the Champions League and they still have the biggest number of trophies in the competition by far.  Smiley

But for this season, it is really hard to believe in them for now. They didn't have a good start. Yeah they destroyed Salzburg but everyone can to tell the truth. You know they are one of the most terrible teams here.

I see Liverpool one step ahead. Ancelotti needs to show us much better things in playoffs. It is where we see Real Madrid's real power.  Wink

Even though Real Madrid are not doing well at this stage and will probably go through the play offs, Real Madrid will still be a candidate to play in the final. If you look at the last few seasons, Real Madrid have not always had impressive results in the early rounds of the Champions League, but when Real Madrid have qualified for the knockout stages over the last few seasons, Real Madrid have still managed to get good results.

Thus, don't get too hung up just because Real Madrid aren't doing well at this stage, and then maybe many will underestimate Real Madrid or assume Real Madrid won't go far. Real Madrid is still a team with great potential to go further in the Champions League, because they also have a great mentality. I personally would doubt Liverpool to be able to play in the final match, because I believe the good results they have in this phase are not a guarantee for them to continue to have impressive results in the knockout phase later.
Madrid when doubted actually impress us more, they already know how to face the Champions League atmosphere. All clubs in Europe know that if they want to win the UCL trophy, the first thing they have to do is get rid of Real Madrid and as long as Madrid still qualifies regardless of how you are going to face many surprises if you face them, Man City, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Inter, Dortmund, and AC Milan have felt it.
Not only this season but also in the previous seasons, we have seen Real Madrid present themselves a bit poorly in the early Champions League matches but when it was important for them to come back, they came back brilliantly. This season, when Real Madrid was losing one match after another in the Champions League, many people thought that maybe Real Madrid would not be able to secure the next round this season. 
However, Real Madrid fans have always believed in their team because they know that their team will come back at the crucial time anyway and finish the season in a good position in the Champions League. 

The teams that performed well in the Champions League last season and the teams that played in the semi-finals or won the title but are not performing well this season. Now if Manchester City or Real Madrid are eliminated from the list of Champions League favorites this season, which team would we put ahead? In my opinion, Real Madrid are still ahead of all the other teams and they are definitely worthy contenders for the title.
