1Liverpool–It’s a lovely life for Arne Slot, even Mohamed Salah missing a penalty is not enough to stop Liverpool from beating Real Madrid.2Barcelona–Barcelona appears, scores goals and then leaves with victories. They are doing enough to prove they are UCL contenders and Robert Lewandowski joined Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the only players to score 100 or more goals in the Champions League.3Bury–It’s not pretty, but Inter continues to do the job. When other top teams are struggling, they score 1-0 wins and move up the table.4Arsenal+1By dispatching Sporting CP with ease, Arsenal are showing that they should be considered among the main contenders for a Champions League title at this stage.5Atalanta+1Conceding their first goal of this Champions League campaign, Atalanta took it personally and scored six goals, with Mateo Retegui and Charles De Ketelaere each scoring doubles.6Bayer Leverkusen+5Florian Wirtz is showing why he is one of the best young players in the world with a brace and an assist as Leverkusen bounced back from a heavy defeat to Liverpool.7Lille+2Goals are coming from everywhere for Lille these days, this time it was Ngal Ayel Mukau who scored a brace from midfield to maintain Lille’s good run in the competition.8Bayern Munich+2Bayern managed a goal in the first half to keep a clean sheet and beat Paris Saint-Germain. It’s nothing special, but it’s also better than losing points.9Monaco-2Struggling to get a man back to take a point off Benfica, Monaco are among the French teams ensuring that, even with PSG’s problems, there will be plenty of French representation in the knockout stages.10Lisbon Sports Club-2Playing their first Champions League match without Ruben Amorim, things did not go well for Sporting CP, but they are still well positioned to progress to the next stage of the competition.11city of manchester-7Wow. It’s crisis mode in Manchester. Becoming the first team to fail to win a Champions League match after leading by three goals in the 75th minute, there isn’t much going right for City at this stage as they are now winless in six matches in all competitions.12Milan+2At this point, can Christian Pulisic be cloned? The American was everywhere for Milan as he scored once again, but Milan’s defense tried to waste the game.13Borussia Dortmund+3Doing business away from home in Europe is not an easy task, but Dortmund visited Croatia and achieved another victory in the UCL. A job well done.14Atlético de Madrid+2It has been a long time since Atleti have given a team an absolute rout. Julián Álvarez scored a double, but they still need much more to establish themselves as UCL contenders.15real Madrid-3Kylian Mbappé returned to his favorite left side against Liverpool and responded by missing a penalty. Along with City, Los Blancos are falling down the table and need to right the ship and get healthy.16Villa Aston-3Villa had a late goal disallowed, but they didn’t play a game they deserved to win.17Benfica+4A late win in Monaco is a great result for Benfica to get their Champions League campaign back on track.18Brest-3Traveling to Barcelona and losing 3-0 happens to the best teams in the world, so it will depend on how they respond to this.19Juventus-1Getting a point is good, but having to be rescued by the referees to get it is not. Nothing in this UCL campaign has been pretty for Juventus, but they will take what they can get.20PSV–A club that is on a roller coaster and it is difficult to know which is the real PSV. They fought to equalize against Shakhtar Donetsk through Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi, but needed the help of a red card to do so.21Celtic-2Playing at home against a team like Brugge, you need the three points and Celtic couldn’t get them.22Paris Saint Germain–Oh no. Still outside the top 24 of the table, this is the point at which panic should begin to invade Luis Enrique and PSG.23Club Bruges+2Brugge would have wanted three points in Scotland, but a draw away at least keeps them among the top 24 teams.24Dinamo Zagreb-1Hosting Dortmund is a difficult task and while Zagreb prevented things from getting out of control, they were unable to secure a point when necessary.25Stuttgart-1With a great chance to overcome struggling teams on a trip to Serbia, Stuttgart conceded five goals. Not great.26Girona–Iván Martín may have failed in the tournament so far with his 0.93 xG shot not finding the net. Girona’s maiden voyage in the UCL could soon come to an end.27Feyenoord–Wow, coming back from 3-0 down against City after the 75th minute is a great result as Feyenoord are slowly finding their footing.28Red Star+6What a victory over Stuttgart. Silas Mvumpa scored and assisted on another goal conceded by the German team and everyone was involved in their first UCL victory in more than five years.29Sparta Prague-1It was a fun start as UCL went undefeated in their first two games. It hasn’t been much fun since then.30SK Sturm Graz+5It probably should have been a draw against Girona, but Sturm Graz will be happy to get their first win of the campaign.31Shakhtar Donetsk-1Not being able to take advantage of a two-goal lead after losing a man, allowing two goals in stoppage time for a loss is a detrimental result for the Ukrainian team.32RB Leipzig-3One of the big teams on alert, RB Leipzig, has gone five games without a win in the league phase. What is happening?33RB Salzburg-2Another day, another tough defeat for the Austrian team.34Bologna-2One day Bologna will kick off their UCL campaign but today was not that day.35young boys-2At least they scored a goal. It was fun, but conceding six to Atalanta was not.36Bratislava Slovakia–They scored a few goals but still couldn’t clean things up defensively, leading to another loss.
