Although no team from Group E or Group F has qualified in advance yet, both Urawa Red Diamonds from Japan and Ulsan HD from South Korea have been eliminated due to two consecutive defeats. In Group G, Juventus and Manchester City have achieved two consecutive victories and advanced together. The final round's direct confrontation will determine who takes the top spot.
