Real Madrid is having a strong season so far, evident from their impressive numbers. In fact, the team has achieved a perfect 18 points in the group stage for the third time in its history, a clear indication of the squad’s potential. After securing the top spot in the group, they will face one of the second-placed teams in the Round of 16.
