The Real Madrid harvested an apabullante victory this past Tuesday against the Apoel of Nikosea (0-6), but the triumph of the Tottenham in front of the Borussia Dortmund (1-2) does that the 'spurs' are first of group of mathematical way, by what the whites will have to conform with a second position that could go out them very expensive in the draw of eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League.
And it is that, of all the clubs that already have closed mathematically his presence in eighth like first of group, or are about to to do it, the Besiktas is the opponent that the seconds of group would prefer to measure expensive to face in the following round.
The other, valuing them staff by staff, are really fearsome. Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea or Rome, and can even that the Liverpool in function of what suceda in the last day... And this taking into account that the Real Madrid will not be able to play in front of the FC Barcelona neither against the Tottenham in eighth, two rivals that also would be fearsome.
The question is that, unless the Real Madrid go back to have a luck tremenda in the draw of eighth of final of Champions League and touch him the Besiktas of Pepe, Adriano and company -a lion with skin of lamb, by the way-, the whites will not have it at all easy to surpass the following eliminatory round of the UEFA Champions League.
Hard bone of roer for the Real Madrid
And, if they do it, they could arrive very fatigados of face to the round of chambers, in which presumably it would fall them like opponent a new 'big' of Europe, taking into account the big existent level in the present edition of the tournament. A lot it will have to improve the Real Madrid, regarding game and provision, to surpass the next challenges in the Champions League 2017-18.
