The two teams that competed in the quarter-finals last season, namely Benfica and Inter, will be in group D for this season's Champions League. Both will be accompanied by Salzburg and Real Sociedad, who are also newcomers this season. If we look at the competition in Group D, it is very likely that Inter will win the group and for the runners up it will be a battle for the other 3 teams. I'm not underestimating Benfica but Real Sociedad and Salzburg were also quite competent in domestic league competition last season so anything can still happen. It seems that group D will also be quite a surprising group and in my opinion the ones who will qualify for the next round are Inter and Real Sociedad.
I'm not really sure who will be the winner in this group, it will be between Inter Milan and Benfica, maybe Inter Milan will be stronger than Benfica moreover, currently Inter Milan is performing quite well in domestic competitions, they have won all three matches they have played and have not conceded a goal but Benfica will always be a team that cannot be underestimated and in this competition, the team can appear different, stronger or vice versa, but I am quite sure that the two teams who will qualify and play in the knockout stages are Inter and Benfica while Salzburg and Real Sociedad will be very doubtful about their appearance in the champions league.
But if these two teams which is considered weak compared to the other two teams can overcome the match against the superior teams, maybe we will see a stronger team get eliminated early, and that is the beauty of this tournament and is also awaited by many football fans.
I'm thinking the same thing about this group, I mean I'm not entirely sure who's going to qualify for the next round yet. Maybe INter Milan are stronger than the 3 clubs here, but that's no guarantee, because I think there will be a lot of surprises in each encounter.
Real Sociedad and Salzburg are not to be underestimated, and Benfica is no exception. I think all the clubs will try to topple each other because in terms of chances I see no significant difference between the clubs and it could come down to goal productivity at the end.
