Despite its victory on the pitch of Atalanta in Bergamo this Tuesday with a score of 3 goals to 2, the Madrid club is not yet guaranteed to qualify (round of 16 and play-offs). The Spaniards are in 20th position with 9 points on the clock.
Kylian Mbappé’s partners have a good chance of reaching the tournament play-offs. The reigning European champions will face Stade Brestois and Red Bull Salzburg during the last two days of the first phase.
Cannavaro not calm for Real Madrid
Real Madrid performed well by winning against Atalanta Bergamo (currently 13th in the standings). The Spanish club has put itself in a good position with a view to qualifying for the C1 play-offs.
However, a club legend fears the worst for Carlo Ancelotti’s team. The 2006 Ballon d’Or Fabio Cannavaro is not calm for his former club. “ The ranking of the 36 teams is difficult to understand, but perhaps that is because it is the first edition. All new things, at the beginning, must be analyzed. In a few years we will understand this formula better and we may like it very much. Football is changing. The Champions League is in Real Madrid’s DNA, and the club has won six trophies in the last ten years, it’s crazy. But he also had seasons where he couldn’t get past the round of 16. Maybe this season will be one of them,” he said during an interview with Tuttosport.
