There are still some teams that will have an advantage.. take a good look at the table and listings -- Palmeiras has already qualified to play the quarter finals against Chelsea and I'm not trying to be funny, those Brazilian teams are super crazy! They're not just gonna sit there and watch you trash their nets with goals. Palmeiras just like the flamengos are no easy teams. They may not qualify for the rest of the quarter final games, but they'll sure be a pain in the ass to most European teams.
I thought I was the only one seeing how crazy the Brazilian teams are, they are literally doing everything possible to stop the European teams and prove how good they are too. I know the European teams are not on same level with them but I am impressed with how they have performed.
Technically they are not as good but they have the strength to mark very tightly so that why are always a pain in the ass.
Palmeiras' next step in the quarter finals will be difficult when they have to face Chelsea. Previously, they did not face strong teams that were favored in this competition. But their performance was not bad, even holding Porto and Inter Miami to a draw. Palmeiras may not be favored in the next match, but I agree with you, they will definitely make it difficult for Chelsea. There is a worst possibility for Chelsea in the quarter finals, because they were also defeated by Flamengo, so a surprise might happen.
I don't even see them challenging Chelsea, they are good quite alright but Chelsea is far from their level and I don't see them giving Chelsea a hard time. Chelsea have improved quite a bit so they should be able to win the game without any pressure.
Right from time I have known those Brazil and Argentine teams to be one kind crazy teams you can't just see them as the underdog those guys are good on a low, believe me any European team that will be facing these teams will really have to step up their game else they will be surprise with the outcome, like we saw it in the Paris saint Germain game if not that Paris is in mad form this season I don't know what what could have been their faith in the group stage, but never the less I'm still believing on these European teams because no matter how good those guys are this people still got the world class players no doubt, so let's just fold our arms and watch the sweet game.
