On September 17, the 2024-25 edition of the Champions League began, the most prestigious club tournament in Europe. One of the teams still in the race is Real Madrid, which still has 3 games left to play in the regular phase.
The meringues have the following matches ahead of them:
In these commitments, the Spanish will seek to improve their performance. They currently occupy 24th place in the classification table, with just 6 points collected and only 2 games won out of 5 played.
In addition to the regular ones, Real Madrid must prepare because there are also other contests that can occur, with teams that are around the same area of the table and that can therefore become direct rivals in the fight to qualify. These are: PSG, Manchester City, Juventus, Atlético de Madrid, Milan, Bayern Munich and Benfica.
The recent defeat suffered by the white team was against Liverpool, against whom they fell 2-0 and the figure Kylian Mbappé missed a penalty, generating concern in the press and especially in Carlo Ancelotti, who has high hopes for him. .
The Italian coach of course wants to win the Champions League once again, but in this edition he is particularly concerned about the tight schedule of matches they have (also adding those in LaLiga), which puts the physical integrity of his figures at risk.
“Sometimes the player gets injured because there are too many games. I hear a lot of advice, but I have coached 1,300 games, I have made 4,000 substitutions and I think no one can give me advice in this regard”was what he said just a few hours ago at a press conference on this topic.
“It is not a Real Madrid problem, it is a general problem”the DT continued saying, who added: “There are many teams with a lot of injuries. We have to endure with this and try to think like last year and that injuries are an opportunity to be better.”
