If I look at Real Madrid and how they won the Champions League a while ago, I have an optimist. Real Madrid just have to keep going to the next 16 rounds and win it, after they are able to perform it and go to the next quarter and semi-final, we will see the real king of the Champions League. Yes, Real Madrid will look mighty if they are already in the semi-finals. They will show their true strength in front of their opponents. This is very often happens, and there are many surprises when they meet a big club on that round. That possible we can see Real Madrid and Liverpool meet, and Real Madrid will won it with penalty shootout.
Yes Real Madrid has good chance of doing well in Champions League. They have been successful in past especially when they won title recently which shows they can handle pressure. If they can get through next round and make it to quarterfinals and semifinals, they will definitely be strong team. Real Madrid usually plays very well in big games and possible game against Liverpool would be very exciting. Even though we can not know for sure what will happen Real Madrid experience and skill make them strong team that could go all the way.
If you look at it as a whole, Real Madrid is very good, they have talented young players and Real Madrid also recovered very quickly after being defeated by Barcelona, Madrid continues to score goals and goals in every match, but they only go through small things and I doubt they can get past the big clubs because they are not perfect at the moment, especially when they meet teams that have quality, and in my opinion Real Madrid does have some players who have a very good mentality, but some of them also don't look like that, so from there I think they will have a very hard time fighting other big teams, I'm pretty sure if they meet Barcelona again in the next Champions League phase Madrid will lose again because what caused them to fall at this time was the team's performance that was not seen in big matches and everyone praised them for beating mediocre clubs and this is too much.
