La Liga teams are very active in the Champions League this season. First of all, La Liga has as many as 5 participating teams, the most of any league. Secondly, there are four La Liga teams that have reached the round of 16 and all of them finished top of the group, and La Liga may have taken a bigger share if it weren't for Sevilla's declining strength.
Since the round of 16 cannot meet the same league teams, and the group leader is relatively weak, it is possible that half of the teams in the top eight will come from La Liga, which is the same scenario as the Premier League occupied half of the Champions League quarterfinals back then. But this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is not easy to achieve, and it requires 4 La Liga teams to work at the same frequency, go hand in hand, eliminate opponents, and meet in the quarterfinals. This brings us to another question, how difficult is it for the four La Liga teams to do this? Or rather, how are the four teams getting lucky? Who has the greatest chance of qualifying?
First of all, the worst sign is definitely Atletico. Their opponent, Inter, was the runner-up in the Champions League last season, and judging from the scene in the final, Inter even suppressed Manchester City. In this season's Champions League, Inter Milan carelessly lost Jingzhou in the group stage, was forced to draw by Benfica, lost the opportunity to compete for the first place in the group, and they failed to beat Real Sociedad in the final round, so they could only wait for the arrival of the first opponent in a group as the second in the group.
In fact, for Inter, Atletico Madrid is not difficult to deal with, at least they did not draw Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester City. But for Atletico, the draw against Inter is perhaps the worst result, even worse than the draw against Paris. Although Atletico Madrid may not be much worse than Inter, compared to the other three La Liga teams, the outcome of Atletico's match against their opponents is the most unpredictable.
In addition, Real Sociedad also had poor luck, and they drew the Grand Paris. Grand Paris, like Inter, is the king of the second in the group, and whoever draws it is unlucky. But fortunately, the loss of Neymar and Messi's big Paris seems to be a little less shocking. And it can also be seen from the group stage that Grand Paris is not strong in away games, and if Real Sociedad can get points at home in Grand Paris, then they have every chance to advance. For this set of matches, many fans are even optimistic about Real Sociedad, perhaps because of this.
Relatively speaking, Real Madrid and Barcelona have signed quite well. However, judging from the group stage, Barcelona's current Champions League competitiveness is still at a low level, and it is unlikely that they will return to the form they were a few years ago in the short term. Although Napoli's strength has declined compared to last season, it is still online after all. In this game, Barcelona may just seem to have an advantage, and when it really plays, the result is not predictable.
The best sign is Real Madrid. Many fans think that RB Leipzig may cause an upset, and I really don't know where this confidence comes from. Although Real Madrid is full of injuries this season, after half a season, Real Madrid's performance is very stable and is currently at the top of the list. Girona have been so vigorous this season, and their only defeat has been due to Real Madrid. Coupled with the magical Bellingham, I can't imagine how Real Madrid will be eliminated by RB Leipzig.
Last season, also in the round of 16, RB Leipzig was humiliated 7-0 by Manchester City. If you think that RB Leipzig can eliminate Real Madrid, then it can only be said that this is a humiliation for Real Madrid.
Of course, there are no absolutes, and RB Leipzig certainly has the possibility of an upset. Don't forget, in the 18-19 season, Real Madrid was knocked down by Ajax's youth storm. But the point is that Real Madrid is completely different now than it was then.
Therefore, among the 4 La Liga teams, Real Madrid's signing calculation is the best. They made it to the quarter-finals and had the least difficulty. I hope I won't be slapped in the face when the time comes.
