Mi scusate per l'inglese ma ho trovato questo interessante.
From the CL season 2003-2004 to the last one included (2016-2017):
72% of the seeded teams won this round and qualified to the quarter finals, compared to 28% of the unseeded ones. If you prefer numbers over percentages then the ratio is 81 compared to 31 (over a total of 112 for both). The difference is statistically significant (p-value<0.001).
If we look a bit further in the competition 75% of the semifinalists were winners of their groups as well as 79% of the finalists.
Basically only 6 teams over those 14 CL seasons managed to get to the CL final without finishing 1st in their group.
