I also have that feelings that Inter will go far this season because they have being consistence with their games and if you look at their performance this season, it is an outstanding one. Last season, they proved that they were good but they couldn't stop Man City from winning the trophy.
Inter Milan has quality squad, they have strong players in each line. Actually, it very makes sense if they can go far until the final round. Moreover, as you said that they played quite consistently during this season, both in Serie A and UCL. So, it won't be so surprised if we can see Inter Milan to achieve the final round again. However, it will depend on the which team to face in the next round. If Inter Milan must face again Man City or Real Madrid, they may fail to reach again the final round.
Real Madrid is the league favorite and if you look at their current performance, you win know that they have the passion and zeal to win the league. They have being displaying their potentials and don't have respect for any club. Any season that they did not win UCL, they are always unhappy and they take the next season to be a do or die affair in order to win the league. This makes me to wonder if the league was made for them alone, I guess winning UCL is why the Real Madrid is existing.
Indeed. Real Madrid played consistently, they showed their power to win both La Liga and UCL this season. Real Madrid attackers (Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham) become very productive in this season. They already scored many goals and assists. If they failed to reach the final round in the last season, it is because they are unlucky to face Man City in the semi-final. But for this season, I believe Real Madrid will achieve the final round. They look like more ready to play in the final round this season.
It can be seen from Real Madrid strength this season that they are certainly very ready to reach the Champions League final. But for that reason, if they meet Manchester City earlier or in the semifinals, it will be quite exciting to see who is the best of these two teams. Indeed, Real Madrid has a quite productive front line this season where Bellingham seems to have found his best form by being able to score lots of goals in Laliga. Moreover, they have just won the Spanish Super Cup which makes them even more enthusiastic about winning the trophy in the competition they are participating in.
Apart from that, this season Real Madrid is very strong in every line where the midfield and defense are very strong so it will be very difficult for other teams to beat them. In the round of 16, Real Madrid will face Leipzig from the Bundesliga. Maybe in terms of strength, Real Madrid is no longer in doubt that they are stronger than Leipzig, so this match will be quite easy to predict the final result.
