I have great confidence in this team. »» And Real Madrid will not be at the end of its sorrows since in the event of qualification for the round of 16, the Spanish champions will face Atletico Madrid or the Bayer Leverkusen.
Carlo Ancelotti nevertheless pointed out the accumulation of matches induced by the new formula of the Champions League.
