UEFA Champions League 2024-25: Real Madrid heading for UCL playoffs, says Carlo Ancelotti

The Hindu  

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti believes his side won’t secure a top-eight finish in the 36-team Champions League table and will have to go through a two-legged knockout playoff round for a chance to reach the last 16. After a fabulous campaign in which it won record-extending titles in La Liga and the Champions League, Real has struggled in its European title defence, losing three of its last four continental matches. Ancelotti expects to face a much-changed Atalanta side from the one it beat 2-0 in the UEFA Super Cup in August. They’re on a roll and they’re full of enthusiasm but that gives us a chance to go out there and prove a point while earning three important points,” Ancelotti said.
