The Champions League is Europe’s biggest club cup competition featuring the best teams from the continent’s best leagues. Fifteen-time European champions Real Madrid, seven-time winners AC Milan and the likes of six-time winners Liverpool and Bayern Munich will be looking to increase their tally this season.

As things stand

Liverpool top the 36-team Champions League table, with six wins from six matches so far and two more to play. Arne Slott’s Liverpool side have beaten the likes of AC Milan, Bologna, RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid and Girona so far. The Reds must still host LOSC Lille at Anfield and travel to Eindhoven to face PSV.

Reigning champions Real Madrid sit 20th in the new-look Champions League table, just five places away from being eliminated from the competition entirely! Madrid have struggled this year, winning just three of the six games they have played in the UCL this season and losing the other three.

Madrid must finish in the top 24 to secure a playoff spot or automatically qualify for the round of 16. Real Madrid are currently 4 points away from 8th place in the league, so it is still not impossible for them to qualify automatically. However, they need a flawless finish in the league stages. Ancelotti will be looking to avoid a playoff spot, as it means two extra games have been added to Madrid’s busy schedule. These two matches will be played on 11, 12, 18 and 19 February 2025.

Another big name that is more likely to miss out on a knockout spot or even a playoff spot is French champions PSG. The Parisians are currently 25th in the league. However, they are just one point behind Dinamo Zagreb, who face Arsenal next. While PSG will also face a tough test against Man City.
