Madrid did not have much luck in the Champions League draw this Thursday. They will face Shakhtar, Inter Milan and Gladbach.
Jorge Valdano said he does not see Zidane's team among the candidates to fight for the title.
"Madrid is not among the favourites to win the Champions League. It is in a moment of transition and it is very difficult because you depend on many things," said the Argentine on 'Movistar'.
Valdano continued in the same vein: "You have to have historical backing to go out and win the Champions League. It is clear that the City group is easy, but nobody can take it for granted".
