UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

The number of competitions that Madrid has to play certainly forces them to be able to rotate players well, as a big team and handled by experienced coach, of course they don't want to lose a single trophy from the competition they participate in ,so I think all competitions will certainly be played seriously and not just La Liga and the Champions League, see the number of injured players at the moment, Madrid journey may be a little difficult, but that doesn't mean they won't focus on all of these competitions, because we know how Madrid and Ancelotti have had great ambitions to win every trophy so far.

Among the players mentioned in this list, 6 players are very important players for Madrid's squad. And these are the players we see in Madrid's starting XI. With half of the players in the starting XI facing injuries, Madrid's performance will naturally be somewhat unstable. There is no doubt that Ancelotti is an experienced coach. But since so many important players of the squad are not with the squad, we don't know how Madrid will perform in the next three matches.

Madrid will play against Real Sociedad, Stuttgart and Espanyol in their next three matches. Madrid needed the likes of Bellingham, Tchouameni and Camavinga in matches against Sociedad and Stuttgart. Without these three key midfielders it will be difficult to keep the squad stable and win these two matches. I am looking forward to see how Ancelotti takes the strategy in the next two matches. Ancelotti and Madrid are understandably very popular at the moment.

The player injuries experienced by Real Madrid at this time could indeed be an obstacle for Real Madrid to perform well in every match, but I also believe in the level of consistency of the current Real Madrid team. Because Real Madrid's mentality in the Champions League is always very big and Ancelotti himself certainly knows what to do and give his best for the team with the current conditions even though one of them is having to be smart enough in rotating players when the match schedule looks quite close for several competitions.

I doubt that Real will have any problems in the group stage of the Champions League, and given the new format, even if there are a few unexpected results, it will still not prevent them from getting out of the group. Militao will be back in a few weeks, and without Alaba they have been playing for a long time, Bellingham, in my opinion, is also ready to play, so Ancelotti does not have big problems with the squad, any injury is unpleasant for a coach, you can’t prepare for it. Now Real will have an important match with Real Sociedad, because they cannot lose points in La Liga.

[Solokan]

You know, Rodrygo and Federico Valverde are two who could do anything to uphold the them.
What kind of mentality is it?? I don't know, just Bravo man .
Not only Mbappe and Vini jr. Every player of Los Blancos are so determined to win everything as much as they can.

R.madrid is undoubtedly the best team in football as we speak. If the players have so much confidence in themselves, who am I to look at it the wrong way?... It's obvious that they're never going to back down. Even before the endeavors althrough -- when the transfer windows began, I always knew Madrid would maintain the standard that earned them the back-back-back champions league titles under omw of greatest coach, Zidane.

I'd like to see them meeting up with bigger teams as the competition goes by.

Real Madrid is a team with a very impressive history and in fact,  the great quality of Real Madrid is still happening today. Unlike with other top teams that have a great history in the Champions League, but until this moment, other top teams do not have good quality, because they also have difficulty winning trophies although just in the domestic league. So, with such differences, of course every player who plays for Real Madrid will certainly have a very good champion mentality too.

But indeed, for this moment at least the young Real Madrid players still need time to be able to have the excellent quality of performance as before. Therefore, although Real Madrid is sometimes doubted,  but the fact is that Real Madrid always manages to advance further in the Champions League and of course, Real Madrid is always a very dangerous team for any team.

Indeed, the majority of Real Madrid players are extraordinary and in fact the Real Madrid players have always been extraordinary, who have a strong mentality and also good performance and the era of Zidane was indeed a moment that is hard to forget for Real Madrid fans because 3 times consecutively won the Champions League and this was extraordinary. But of course Ancelotti is no less great at coaching and as far as I know, Ancelotti has brought Real Madrid to the Champions League title 3 times but unfortunately not 3 times in a row like Zidane.

but it is true that until now Real Madrid still has good quality and also has a good history in the past. Yes, every player who plays for Real Madrid always has a winning mentality, of course because Real Madrid has always get trophies. and up to now it has been proven that there are still many star players from Real Madrid and this is certainly lucky for Real Madrid so far and indeed Real Madrid always has a professional coach so it is no surprise that Real Madrid will continue to be successful.

For young Real Madrid players, of course they always need time to continue to improve their performance. However, usually in the end Real Madrid always succeeds in winning the title. and I see that in the Champions League this season, it will certainly not be easy for Real Madrid to become champions, but I personally predict that Ancelotti's troops will have great potential to become champions again in the UCL this season.

Madrid is indeed a big team, they are the favorites and will always remain the favorites to win the Champions League, but this time, it seems like they are not as strong as we are expecting, because they have large injury list and the list consists of some important players in the squad that are reliable especially in the midfield and the defense. And again, we can not because of that conclude that they will not perform well because anything can happen and Ancelotti is a big coach with great experience and there are players that can do wonders in the team especially Mbappe and Vinicius Jr and the main players will get well before the competition mover further; nevertheless, there are several teams that can do better in the Champions League especially Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and the rest of them; therefore, we have to wait and see how the competition go before we can conclude.

The problem of many team casualties can be figured out with the rest of the players on the bench. The main reason i like Ancelotti a lot is because even at this period he knows what to do, although you will still be some shaking in their defense and midfield but that won't stop them from winning games since they have a strong froward to score for them. Hopefully, most of the players on injury will be back before mid-time. Again, I would say that with their current team status, they are not strong enough to face teams like Mnajester City, Barcelona, Bayern PSG or Arsenal in the UCL.

Real Madrid has several injured players, especially in the back line and midfielder. And some have picked up injuries in the ongoing international break. Well, this will clearly make things a bit more difficult for Real Madrid this season. Especially in LaLiga and in the Champions League. and maybe in several other competitions. but fortunately every player who was injured was not in a really serious condition. Because it looks like they will recover quickly and only miss a few matches. So Ancelotti can be relieved about this situation.

But I hope that the number of injured players during this international break will not increase again. Because it would be a nightmare for this team. Even though this team has good reserve players, their core players would still be better if they were fit and not injured at all.

Madrid is not afraid of injuries to their players because they have a very strong squad and if some of the main players are injured Ancelotti is a mind person and knows how deal with this situation.
Lets hope these all player recovered soon and back on the Pitch.

This is really a poor imitation of the Super League. Of all 18 games, only 3 (I highlighted them) can be called top games and in addition, you can find 3-4 games that are of interest. The rest will be interesting only to fans of the playing clubs. In total, out of 18 games, only 6-7 are watchable - and this is with the optimistic assumption that the new format will not kill the irreconcilability of the confrontations, since this is the group stage and the value of the games is very low. The only improvement is three matchdays instead of two, but that could also be a problem as the Europa League and Conference League will have no spectators at all.

Agree.
Poor imitation of the super league, with low interested games.
With no free tickets, with a champnship with random game selected by computer.

I don't really think that people will like this format.

Of course Ancelotti actually will not worry about the current situation of Madrid players. Because there are still some reserve players who can replace the position of injured players and there are still 7 days to see the development of injured players. Maybe actually what is happening right now is not too worrying, but the problem is that fans are only worried that after suffering an injury and can return to appear on the field, the performance of some of the injured players is unstable.
IMO, Ancelotti will use the second layer player in the La Liga match and the main player will be prioritized to rest longer so that it is really maximum when performing at UCL later.

Real Madrid is a team that doesn't joke, and as they say in war, they don't take prisoners. His goal always remains the Champions League given that this cup brings prestige and a lot of money, it is no coincidence that if I remember correctly it is the team that has won the most Champions Leagues in European history.
In fact, he often prefers to focus on the cup rather than La Liga.
I'm sure he'll do great this season too

Now Real will have an important match with Real Sociedad, because they cannot lose points in La Liga.

Moreover, the opponents that Real Madrid will face in the group stage are not tough teams, with the exception of Liverpool who might provide quite epic resistance. Stuttgart, Dortmund, might provide enough resistance. However, on paper Real Madrid is far superior. Looking at the injury data of Madrid players, most of them will recover soon and return to the main team. Ancelotti is not worried about that, it seems that some of Madrid's defenders are suffering from long-term injuries. Although I forgot the data, this could be an obstacle with a tight match schedule. Ideally, Ancelotti will rotate some of his players as usual. For example, if there are still injured defenders, Camavinga will be deployed in the wing-back position. I am sure that even though Real Madrid is constrained, Ancelotti will find a way to fix his team's shortcomings and weaknesses until all players are fit. So we agree, it seems that Real Madrid will not experience obstacles in the Champions League group stage.

The injuries that befell the Madrid squad has made many doubt what their will still be able to compete in several competitions simultaneously at this time, but in my opinion these injuries are not something that will make Madrid miss out on their current opportunities, especially if some of the injured players will return soon and joining the Madrid squad to continue their journey this season, the storm of injuries that befell Madrid at this time is a result of the busy schedule that they continued to endure before when UEFA changed the format of national and league matches, but even so, as a team that has a mentality and also quality so far, of course madrid will be able to overcome the injury storm easily, the La Liga and Champions League matches which are close together will of course make Ancelotti have to be wise in rotating his players.

Madrid will play every 3 days and obviously it will be exhausting:

Ancelotti has nothing to worry about the injury situation of some of their main players because the second squad of Real Madrid is also as good as the first squad and it will also give some of the players in the second squad the opportunity to showcase their performance in matches and get recognized instead of Ancelotti to always rely on the first squad in almost every game. Some of the injured players are likely to return back from injury soon so they can still have them back to the squad, the problem will only center in their fitness which they will get back to with time. Ancelotti should think about possible ways that the prominent players will not be having early injuries and the only way he can do that is to feature more of the second squad players and reserve the regular players for more critical and tougher games this will help to reduce more injuries from happening to the the players in the first squad.

[giammangiato]

In as much as it's expected of Kylian Mbappé to hit the ground up and running in his scoring of goals at Real Madrid and starts performing as expected, but it still very early to expect that such performance from him, despite his an incredible player that wouldn't find it very difficult to adapt and blend into any team which he finds himself, Mbappé has just had few weeks play time at Madrid, to me, I won't expect much now from him and until after his first season at Madrid, but if he does performance well, then good.

To whom much is given much is expected. Normally Mbappe is not the kind of player that will go come into a team and still need like a year or more to settle in. He is the kind of player that people expect to hit the ground running immediately with hat tricks and assists. Real Madrid bought him with the intention that he will start delivering goals immediately from the first game. The expectation on him is very high and it's quite a weight for such a young man like Mbappe to carry. Either ways he has to live up to the expectations because he has been doing it for years for both his former club and country. Not many football fans understands the fact that players do need time to adapt. Majority of the fans are not patient, if Mbappe don't start delivering goals and assists soon we might see some Madrid faithfuls turning against Mbappe. So Mbappe should have this in his mind and start putting more efforts.

Mbappe is a great player, but I don't understand why he isn't playing as he should be playing. Maybe he still has to get used to the patterns, maybe he hasn't settled into Spain yet. I was expecting a dazzling start but he is really doing little with what is in his DNA.
Instead Robert Lewandowski is really unleashed:i am happy for this.

Talking about the mentality of the players and the experience of the coach, Real Madrid has not experienced any problems in navigating this season, but injury problems can change everything, especially since Real Madrid is active in several different competitions. The season is still long and there are many matches to be played, the limited number of players will make it difficult for Ancelotti to formulate a strategy, especially since he also needs to rotate because of the very tight schedule. I really hope Real Madrid can maintain their performance, but if more and more of their players are injured, Real Madrid will have a hard time competing with other favorite teams, especially this season there will be many surprises in the UCL after the new format is implemented.

[sokani]

So for now as supporters should be more patient because the team needs time especially at this time the real madrid squad is in a player crisis, most of its core players are injured we must understand that the current situation experienced by real madrid will inevitably have an impact on the improvements they are currently doing, and honestly real madrid for now still shows a good game despite being hit by injuries. Therefore as I have said, there is still plenty of time for recovery, wait for the time to come mbappe brings glory with real madrid.

Thank you, football fans should take a chill pill. It's just few games and many persons are beginning to conclude that Mbappe's case is going to be the same as Hazard. In their last game against Real Betis he scored a brace, so I want to believe he's gradually adapting to the new league and to his new team. But even if he doesn't bag as many goals as he used to, we should not be too critical of him because it's his first season and sometimes new signings do struggle in their first season.

I have also observed that Real Madrid performance in Champions League is usually different from their La Liga matches maybe this should be due to the Anceloti influence who is gifted in the Champions League and the only coach to have won the champions league five times. This year they are still a big threat for any team as they will be playing to defend the title. They might have started badly with their La Liga but they have a fast way of putting their house in order to confront any opponent. Most definitely they will regain the consistency they are known for and will give Barcelona a big fight as usual.

La Liga and the Champions League will always be important for Ancelotti. But the Champions League always has great prestige for Madrid. They always perform great in the Champions League. Ancelotti always has a strong strategy for matches against strong teams in the Champions League. Madrid has a strength that no other team has in the Champions League. It is their champion mentality that I think they maintain in every Champions League match they play. It is like saying that they are the champions.

Ancelotti is definitely one of the coaches who knows how to get the most out of his players. That's why even if Real Madrid's squad is plagued with injuries, he can bring in the players he wants in the positions he wants. He has the best players in his vast pool of players. Most of the players have been at their best during the international break. Ancelotti must be the happiest person about that.

This is still early and the opportunity is still very large, the current obstacle is not a big problem, some players are indeed in treatment due to injury, but that will not be long in my opinion because no one has a serious injury that requires a lot of time to recover.

Calm down our friend will see Real Madrid back to its track, this is just a challenge for the start of the season for them and I strongly believe their mentality and abilities can be relied on especially if the team's strength works entirely very likely to take a lot of trophies this season.
