Madrid's 4-1 come-from-behind defeat of Las Palmas at the weekend may have cemented their spot atop La Liga, but Carlo Ancelotti knows his side must back up that victory with another in Europe. With only three wins from six Champions League outings in 2024/25, Los Blancos are a lowly 20th in the table and must win to avoid the almost unthinkable failure of not securing even a playoff spot. The recent 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana final again proved their weakness at full-back, with Dani Carvajal still injured. Having Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham in your team helps, though.
Austrian champions in 10 of the last 11 seasons, RB Salzburg have been unusually inconsistent this term with former Liverpool assistant boss Pepijn Lijnders paying the price in December a week after a fifth defeat in six Champions League games. Former academy boss Thomas Letsch has fared little better in recent friendly defeats to Bayern Munich (6-0) and Midtjylland (3-2) and will need a miraculous two wins against sides from the Spanish capital – Atletico Madrid are up next week – if his side are to stand any chance of a playoff spot.
