Carlo is a company man and he has dealt with loaded teams before, i think at Milan there was a time when Galliani and Berlusconi were throwing attacking midfielders at him and he was tasked with finding a way to fit in. Real have the so called "La Decima" project and that's all about the CL, i believe they want to be back to their late 90s early 2000s when they were good in that tournament and watching Barca win 3 of them while they struggled to even get to quarter finals irks them. I don't see how they will use Bale and Ronaldo in the team without being exposed defensively as they are this season.
