but I would also include some Italian teams who, as always, are underestimated but always reserve big surprises for us.
No room for underestimating zones here. Italian teams have been underrated over the years and we can remember vividly how Inter Milan knocked out almighty formed Barcelona out of the UEFA Champions League and we had to see the competitive strength of this particular club. Surprises will always come either from Seria A teams, La Liga teams or the EPL. These clubs put in much more efforts to accumulate a win and they will always come for the big win.
Every time Italian teams are underestimated and at the end of the season, Inter Milan of the Italian league either qualifies for the Champions League final or plays until the semi-finals. Earlier, Inter Milan played against Manchester City in the Champions League and Inter Milan's performance was excellent, last season Inter Milan played against PSG again in the Champions League final, although Inter Milan's performance was not particularly good. Still, if I say that which team is stronger between Inter Milan and Barcelona, everyone will probably speak in favor of Barcelona, but in the last few years Barcelona has not been able to qualify for the Champions League final, but Inter Milan has qualified for the final several times.
This season, I will not underestimate Inter Milan and Napoli of the Italian league in any way, but I expect these teams to perform well in this season's Champions League as in every season.
Maybe Barcelona will do well in the domestic league, but I have doubts about their performance in the Champions League this season.
