Meanwhile, the remaining Asian representative in the round of 16 is Al Hilal Club, facing the giant Man.City (8am on July 1). This will be a challenge and also an opportunity for Brazilian clubs to cause a shock in this bracket to have a representative in the semi-finals.
Because in the remaining bracket, the 4th representative of Brazil, Flamengo Club, will face Bayern Munich (3am on June 30). The winning team will advance to the quarterfinals to meet PSG or Inter Miami of the famous player Messi (11pm on June 29). In the same bracket considered as "death", Real Madrid will also face Juventus at 2am on July 2, with the winning team meeting Dortmund or Monterrey of Mexico at 8am on July 2, in the quarterfinals.
