I think that for this we need to look at the top 8 and think which teams can lose their place, it could be Brest and Lille, because the others are strong enough to hold on to the result. But there are also many contenders besides Milan who would like to rise to the coveted top 8. So I think that Milan will continue their path in this Champions League from the 1/16 finals, not the best option, because these are additional matches and a burden for the players, but I initially did not assume that Milan would be able to do this, but if Bayern and Real are outside the top 8, this is a surprise for me.
These two French League representative clubs were unexpectedly still able to compete and maintain their position in the Champions League qualifying table, and it was not easy. Lille, they are quite good even though they do not always play a good game, but fortunately they were able to win some of their matches. They defeated Madrid with a narrow score, Atletico was also defeated and one drew 1-1 against Juventus. This is interesting, Lille's next opponents are Liverpool and Feyenoord. They only need a draw against Liverpool, win over Feyenoord, then their position seems safe. Brest also has a chance to qualify for the next phase, so far they have only lost once. Their opponent in the next match is Shakhtar, the toughest is against Real Madrid. These two French representative teams have a chance to advance to the next phase, but on the condition that they must work hard to achieve the best results. Well, will these two teams remain in the top 8, it is possible even though the obstacles will be very difficult. Lille has a tough match against Liverpool, while Berst has a tough match against Real Madrid in the last match of the group stage. Wow, this is interesting.
