Six football clubs have already secured their spots in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, paving the way for an exciting penultimate round of group fixtures this midweek. The qualified teams include Manchester City, Real Sociedad, RB Leipzig, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Bayern Munich.

In the recent group-stage matches, Manchester City and RB Leipzig secured their places in the knockout stage with victories over Young Boys and Crvena Zvezda, respectively. Real Madrid dominated against Braga with a 3-0 victory, positioning themselves to top the group with just a win or draw at home against Napoli in the upcoming fixture.

Bayern Munich clinched Group A’s top spot after a hard-fought 2-1 win against Galatasaray. Real Sociedad and Inter Milan have also successfully secured their places in the Round of 16. However, the battle for the group’s top position will unfold when these two teams face each other in Italy during the final game week.

The remaining group-stage matches promise intense competition as teams strive to secure their places in the coveted Round of 16, adding further excitement to the Champions League journey.
