And thus, know their productivity and percentage of chances that advance for the quarters.
The data indicate that the most ‘difficult’ rival to beat will be FC Barcelona, but it is also true that if there is a moment where that data can fail it is now because of the sporting slump, and instability that the club has.
Barcelona is third in LaLiga, is 10 points behind Real Madrid in the overall standings, has not been a consistently winning team.
But despite this, the 17.65% chance of being eliminated, this can be used to their advantage by Napoli, their opponent in the round of 16, who only in 25% of the occasions they have been in this round have been able to stay in the Champions League.

Favorites Round of 16 of the Champions Leagues in 2024: Great duel between RB Leipzig vs. Real Madrid
While in the round of 16 of the Champions Leagues in 2024 appears once again Real Madrid, the club that plays more round of 16.
We already know that behind Real Madrid there is a huge history, no one like them has won the Champions League, but that is no guarantee that they will always be successful.
Real Madrid has 14 titles and three Champions League runner-ups.
Faced with this event, this Tuesday begins the round of 16 of the Champions Leagues in 2024.
Where the last champion will be presented, also the most successful, who will have action this first day.
It is estimated to be the most even match on Tuesday 13, where the German team will host the 14-time Champions League champion.
A match that will be repeated after the previous season, when both teams faced each other in the group stage of the 22/23 edition.
Now it is a different situation for both teams, who will put on a great show this Tuesday.
–FC Copenhagen vs. Manchester City–.
The reigning champions will play this away match against the Danish team, who were the surprise qualifiers ahead of Manchester United in the group stage.
This match will also be played after both teams also met in the previous season in the group stage.
Now the situation will be different because they will be playing in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
–PSG looking to break the drought…
Luis Enrique’s side have undoubtedly lost their luster, but they are still a great club.
They will face Real Sociedad, a team that struggled in the group stage against Inter Milan, Benfica and Salzburg.
André Silva and Take Kubo are just some of the mainstays of the club coached by Imanol Alguacil.
It’s an even match, but the scales are tipped in favor of the French.
–Bayern, ever-present
Bayern Munich has won the European Cup six times and despite the departure of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, they have more than enough weapons to fight on equal terms with any team that crosses their path.
The opponent, Lazio, with a low profile, the team from the Italian capital qualified for the championship at the end of last season by finishing second in Serie A.
Experienced striker Ciro Immobile is their main resource in attack, in addition to the presence of Spaniard Pedro and the precise touch in the middle of Luis Alberto.
–PSV vs. Borussia Dortmund, an evenly matched duel…
In the Champions League group stage, Dortmund surprised everyone by finishing first and reaching the round of 16 ahead of AC Milan, Newcastle United and Kylian Mbappé’s PSG.
PSV Eindhoven’s 9 points were enough for them to take second place and to be more than confident of making an impact on the table in the championship organized by UEFA.
Both already know what it means to win the tournament: the yellow-and-black team did it in 1997, while the Dutch team was crowned five years earlier.
There are no favorites, this is the most evenly matched of all the ties.
–Atlético vs. Inter, many doubts?
Another of the duels in the round of 16 of the Champions Leagues in 2024 is quite even.
The team coached by Simone Inzaghi will face Atletico, who are not afraid of anyone.
While Atletico Madrid have never won the Champions League and their last two finals in 2014 and 2016 were precisely with Diego Simeone as DT.
–Arsenal to continue with good soccer…
This version of Arsenal includes such standouts as Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Gabriel Martinelli, and in London they are lighting candles to -now yes- celebrate at continental level.
In 2006, they lost their only final to Barcelona and, this time, they face Porto in the round of 16.
The Lusitanians are not favorites, although they almost reached the first place in Group H with 12 points (they won on goal difference).
