First time this season I watched their full match last night. Wow they looked average. Not sure why Ancelotti started with 4 DM's and no striker . That first half was awful for them. Second half was an improvement after Rodrygo came on.
Leipzig had so many chances but were wasteful, especially Openda. Vinicius was diving all over the place and could have been sent off on another day.

I wasn't impressed either. If Openda had his shooting boots on they would've been in trouble. But you can't argue with the results

They are in a bit of a transition period, they still don’t have a proper replacement for Benzema, Modric powers are finally nearing an end and it’s their weakest full/wing backs in at least a couple of decades. More often than not they need either Vinicius or Bellingham to produce some star quality to win a game.
If they get Mbappe in the summer then they will dominate once more, but this version is very beatable.
City are the best team in the CL and should retain it

Over the two games Leipzig could/should have won quite easily, but that C/F of theirs should have been taken off much earlier by the trainer ,he was awful.

Madrid were playing v well earlier in the season
They've lost form badly in recent weeks though
Still it's a v exciting young young Madrid are building..Mbappe, Endrick & possibly Alphonso Davies joining in the summer too

Real Madrid punish teams, and they give away chances too. But teams rarely take their chances and always pay the price on other end
