Group C has a clear hierarchy with Spanish runners up Real Madrid and Italian champions Napoli as the two heavy favorites to advance to the knockout stage. Madrid made a run to the semifinal last year before losing to eventual champions Manchester City, and Napoli's dream season ended in a shock loss to AC Milan in the quarterfinal.
Union Berlin have consistently punched above their weight as a club in Germany and the Portuguese sides have had a lot of success in this competition of late, but there's a clear gap in overall squad talent here.
