These are the six teams that have been confirmed to qualify for the round of 16 and their journey will definitely be easier in the remaining group stage matches. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Inter, Leipzig and Manchester City are regular teams in the top 16 and perhaps seeing Real Sociedad's struggle so far in qualifying with this strong team is certainly a good record for them after being absent from this competition for so long. Real Sociedad managed to eliminate Salzburg and Benfica from Group D competition and they succeeded in placing themselves at the top with the same points as Inter. Real Sociedad's performance in the domestic league and champions league is equally good and they deserve this result.

Real Madrid and Manchester City are my favorite team, I've full confidence in these teams mentioned, they have a brilliant squad and competent coach to lead them to path od glory. These are not only the teams, there are more teams that are fighting really hard to qualify. They're up and ready to kickoff in UCL round of 16. They sacrifice enough work to make this work, consistency in outstanding performance and they're heading into a qualified phase. These teams are competitive and strong on the standings in UEFA Champions League.

Real Madrid and Man City are indeed the teams whose strength is most taken into account. Especially Man City. But for this season I have different hopes. Even though I'm not a Bayern fan. But I want Bayern to win the title this season. I want to see Harry Kane finally lift the trophy in Europe's highest competition with Bayern. He is a talented player and has many achievements but he has been at Tottenham for too long. And I think it's time for this player to achieve the highest achievements in his life with the current club.

But even though I have such hopes, I am quite pessimistic. Because it is very likely that Man City will remain the favorite. In fact, currently Inter Milan are also in their best condition in Serie A. In fact, they are much stronger than last season. Real Madrid has also experienced improvement this season. So everything will become more difficult. But I'm quite surprised that Benfica can't shine like last season.
