Like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern, Inter and Real Sociedad already have their ticket in their pocket for the round of 16 of the C1.

Tuesday evening, at the end of the first act of the 4e day of the group stage of the Champions League, only Manchester City had already gleaned their ticket to the round of 16. Four other teams joined the ranks of the lucky qualifiers this Wednesday evening.

Well underway after three victories in as many outings so far, Real Madrid did not fail to confirm at the expense of Braga, winner 3-0 at the Bernabeu thanks to Brahim Diaz (27e), Vinicius Jr (58e) and Rodrygo (61e). Lunin, Kepa’s understudy, also participated in the party by repelling a penalty from the 6the minute.

With nine points ahead of their evening opponents, third in the group, the Merengues can no longer be joined on their throne, except by the Neapolitans, five points away after their draw against Union Berlin. (1-1). Same serenity for Bayern who in their group achieved a four in a row thanks to a new success signed to the detriment of Galatasaray (2-1).

Unmissable Kane

In a Munich stadium copiously filled with supporters of the Istanbul club, the Munich residents were neutralized for a long time before making the difference with a double from the inevitable Kane (80e86e) – Bakambu having saved the honor of the Turks in added time (90e+3). For the Bavarians, the qualification is all the more beautiful as it is accompanied by assured leadership while Copenhagen and Galatasaray are at eight points.

Finally, today’s results made two others happy, in group D: Real Sociedad and Inter. Executioners respectively of Benfica (3-1) and Salzburg (0-1), Basques and Lombards are now perched too high for their competitors, with ten points on the clock. To do this, the Nerazzurri went to win in Austria thanks to a penalty converted at the end of the match by Lautaro Martinez (85e).
