Closing the match series on the morning of June 25, Benfica and Chelsea were the two new teams that won the right to continue after convincing victories in the final match.

In Group C, Benfica caused a surprise when they defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 thanks to the only goal by Andreas Schjelderup early in the match.

This victory helps Benfica have 7 points, surpassing Bayern (6 points) to take the top spot in Group C.

Meanwhile, in Group D, Chelsea beat Tunisia's Esperance 3-0 to get 6 points, ranking second in Group D after Brazil's Flamengo (7 points).

Thus, in the round of 16, Benfica (first place in group C) will face Chelsea (second place in group D), while Flamengo (first place in group D) will face a challenge from Bayern Munich (second place in group C).

Previously, 6 other teams also won the right to continue: Palmeiras, Inter Miami (Group A), Paris Saint-Germain, Botafogo (Group B), Juventus and Man City (Group G).

In the next round, Palmeiras and Botafogo will create a Brazilian football derby to compete for a ticket to the quarter-finals.

The remaining match has been determined to be Paris Saint-Germain (Group B winner) and Inter Miami. This is considered a difficult challenge for Messi and his teammates when the Champions League champion is playing brilliantly.
