Real Madrid
Only a fool would ever doubt Real Madrid to go out early in the champions league after what they have achieved over the last few years. But by the looks of the current situation, the 13 times champions look in a little bit of crisis. With Ronaldo gone, Real have lost their goalscoring machine and with Bale always seeming to suffer from injuries, the Los Blancos may have to cope without their star player. Ageing squad is one more issue due to which they may suffer. Madrid have also lost their charismatic manager, Zidane and Lopetegui may find it difficult to replace him. It could happen that Madrid go out in the early stages of the competition this year, but it would be fantastic if they pull something out like last year!
