But Barcelona is still better than Napoli this season. Just look at Napoli who are still slumped in 7th place in Serie A. Meanwhile Barcelona still looks good at 3rd place in Laliga. And to stay in 3rd place in Laliga is not an easy thing. So Barcelona might be the favorite. And for the Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid match, I won't be confused by this one. Because Inter Milan is currently in their best condition, even exceeding their performance last season. They also just managed to beat Juventus and put Inter Milan at the top of Serie A. And this shows that Inter Milan is better prepared to get through the round of 16. I'm sure of it.

Based on the calculation of points earned in the domestic league, Barcelona is better than Napoli, but overall, both teams are not at their best. Inter Milan are in top form, they are very obsessed with returning to the final and winning the UCL trophy after failing in the final last season. You also shouldn't underestimate Atletico Madrid, this team just held Real Madrid to a draw in La Liga, Simeone team also embarrassed Real Madrid in the Copa Del Rey with a landslide score of 4-2. Inter are better prepared to advance to the next round judging by their performance, but Atletico will try to knock Inter out quicker with their aggressive displays this season.

You are right. I forgot about Atletico Madrid who also beat Real Madrid this season. And yes, this can indeed provide a big picture that Atletico Madrid cannot be underestimated. But I remain confident in the performance of Inter Milan, who are still the best team in Serie A this season. And as you said, Inter Milan has strong drive and motivation to reach the top of the UCL final again. But yeah, Inter Milan won't have an easy match. So losing or winning probably won't be a surprise for the Inter vs Atletico Madrid match.

Atletico Madrid is known for its strong defense so it is not surprising that Real Madrid sometimes has difficulty beating Atletico Madrid, whereas in terms of Atletico Madrid attack line it is not as strong as other clubs, but usually Atletico Madrid attacking players, after being able to score 1 score, will already know the gaps in the opponent's defense and able to score again.
It is very reasonable that Inter Milan will likely have a little difficulty against Atletico Madrid and in the 1st leg match Inter must try to win with a bigger score or if not in the 2nd leg Atletico Madrid can respond more cruelly with a higher aggregate score.

In my opinion, it looks like Inter will still qualify for the semi-finals as long as they don't make mistakes in the first match. I'm sure they can qualify for the next round, but to reach the final I can't speculate yet because Bayern Munich is one of the strong candidates.

Well, I can't speculate about the final match either. Because I also agree with you that Bayern this season also looks more hopeful than last season. Since Harry Kane came to Bayern we can see their attack line has become truly more dangerous than before.

Regarding Inter Milan, maybe they really have to win the maximum in the first leg when they host it. Because in the second leg when Atletico Madrid is the host, maybe Inter Milan will have much more difficulty. Because Atletico Madrid has long been quite famous for its persistence in the UCL.

The final is still too late in the Champions League so far with teams fighting to make it to the Super Sixteen. Any team can do well from the teams that are still there. Bayern Munich were the favorites from the start of the season and they remain the favourites. Bayern Munich have strengthened their attacking line and other positions considerably this season. A significant change for Mayan Munich is the signing of Harry Kane to their club. Harry Kane's transfer was one of the most notable and biggest transfers of the last transfer window. Bayern Munich can certainly dream of playing in the semi-finals with other players including Harry Kane.

On the other hand, if Inter Milan and Atlético Madrid are discussed, Inter Milan may be a bit ahead of Atlético Madrid considering the Champions League performance, but it goes without saying that there will be a tough competition between these two teams. Atlético Madrid are doing well in La Liga and Inter Milan are very close so expect a tough competition.
