I don't think Monaco and Benfica will be a threat to real madrid and I get the believe that Madrid will do everything possible to achieve all the point because I think some of madrid players that are injured can be back before the Champions League continue. The only problem madrid are facing is in the league i don't really know why madrid have been playing poor in the league competition but I think he happens to any clubs sometimes and they will be playing poorly and thinking they can't do anything that season anymore. Manchester City have not be doing well this season but currently now they have start picking form and challenge the big clubs this season and getting the chance to top the league table.
