I think Real needs to get healthy

before they are assessed, but if they do not, they will have a tough time in the Champions. Still, they finished second in group last year and won the whole thing. Real Madrid always comes to play in the Champions League.

The 1st team has barely had any time together as Carvajal, Bale, and Navas have all missed large tracts of time. Key complimentary players like Kovacic and Marco Asencio have also missed time as well as Ronaldo who missed 5 games to start the year. These injuries have created a crater for Real in La Liga but I am hoping they bounce back and win the Champions league.
