Champions League Power Rankings: Barcelona, ​​Liverpool and Inter impress; Man City and Real Madrid stumble

1 Liverpool +1 With four wins in four games, Arne Slot seems to be allergic to losing points. A hat trick from Luis Díaz in the second half set the pace for Liverpool and every week a different attacker shows why they should be feared. 2 Barcelona +1 There is no team in the world that can stop this attack. Behind two other goals from Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona lost five goals to Red Star in an important route. 3 Bury +4 This is a team that could win this competition. By converting a penalty just before half-time and then maintaining that lead thanks to important saves from Yann Sommer, even when they are not at their best, Inter can take wins from anyone. 4 city ​​of manchester -3 Without Rodri it has become too easy to play in Manchester City’s midfield. Sporting CP dealt quickly and Erling Haaland missed a penalty. It’s not time to hit the panic button yet, but they’ve moved it so it’s within reach. 5 Arsenal — A penalty is enough to lose a game at this level. Arsenal created many chances but could not find the finishing touch. 6 Atalanta +4 Even without conceding a goal in the Champions League, Atalanta earned more points with a victory over Stuttgart. Ademola Lookman continued his strong play and this is a team that turns heads. 7 Monaco +8 Another professional performance from Monaco and another three points, there are only six unbeaten teams left in the league stage, and Monaco are among them. 8 Lisbon Sports Club +5 Behind Viktor Gyokeres’ hat-trick, Ruben Amorim and Sporting CP managed to dismantle Manchester City. There are doubts about what comes next with Amorim’s departure to Man United, but he leaves this team in an excellent position. 9 Lille — Have a nice day Jonathan David. With his efforts in the first half, he now has six goals in the Champions League. Lille are at the top of their game and are taking points from some of the best teams in the world. 10 Bayern Munich +1 Bayern Munich did enough to overcome Benfica, but everything counts the same as it was an important result for Vincent Komapny’s men. 11 Bayer Leverkusen -3 Going to Anfield and losing is one thing. Arriving at Anfield and losing 4-0 is another. This is not something that costs Bayer Leverkusen much, but it does temper expectations about how far they can go in this competition. 12 real Madrid -8 Los Blancos have a problem with Kylian Mbappé. This attack is crying out for a proper nine and so far they have been unable to get it from the Frenchman. To win another Champions League title, this team needs a restructuring. 13 Villa Aston -7 Villa’s lovely life has been affected. With just one shot on goal in Belgium, they are no longer undefeated in the UCL. The lack of depth would surely catch up with them, but now Unai Emery needs to regain his footing. 14 Milan +8 Behind another assist from Christian Pulisic, Milan entered the Santiago Bernabéu and left with three points in a huge result. This could be the beginning of a trend in which Rafael Leao is also doing well. 15 Brest -1 Even away from home, Brest’s strong play continues while the French teams are putting in good performances. Located in fourth place in the table, Brest’s inaugural Champions League is shaping up to be unforgettable. 16 Borussia Dortmund +2 It took longer than expected to find a winner at home, but keeping a clean sheet and picking up three points equals a job well done. 17 Atlético de Madrid +2 We had to wait until well into added time but Ángel Correa gave the finishing touch for Diego Simone’s men to achieve their second victory of the league phase. Having only six points in four games is not enough, but at least they are inside the top 24. 18 Juventus -6 A draw is a good result, but Juventus had to be rescued with a penalty. Since Bremer went down, this hasn’t been the same team. 19 Celtic +2 It is still difficult to assess who the real Celtics are, but a comprehensive victory over RB Leipzig is another step towards advancing beyond the league stage, which would be a success for the Scottish team. 20 PSV — Beating Girona was a historic victory this campaign for PSV and USMNT man Malik Tillman was integral, scoring one goal and assisting another. 21 Benfica -4 It was a good start to the league phase for Benfica, but after losing two consecutive games, they need to quickly regain their form in the competition. 22 Paris Saint Germain -8 Concern increases for PSG after losing a winnable match at home against Atlético de Madrid. With only three goals in four games, Kylian Mbappé is greatly missed. 23 Dinamo Zagreb +5 Don’t look now, but the Croatian team is quickly moving up the table after remaining undefeated in their last three games. This could be one of the surprise teams to overcome the league phase. 24 Stuttgart — Stuttgart is present in all the games, but cannot take advantage of it. Four points out of four is good, but Denis Undav has to go back to what Serhou Guirassy was. 25 Club Bruges +4 Finally, his good play has been rewarded. Beating Aston Villa in Belgium is the type of victory Bruges need to advance. 26 Girona -3 Another team with a debut in the Champions League to forget, Girona’s defeat against PSV was quite damaging. The Spanish team will need to quickly find its balance. 27 Feyenoord -2 After a big win with a damaging defeat, Feyenoord still haven’t come close to matching last season’s form. 28 Sparta Prague -2 A good start to the league phase has now turned into two consecutive defeats. This match was winnable against Brest and those lost points could hurt. 29 RB Leipzig -2 Four games, zero points. They may be second in the Bundesliga, but without points in the Champions League, concern arises. 30 Shakhtar Donetsk +2 The first victory in the Champions League is the most difficult and now that Shakhtar has achieved it, it is time to start looking forward. 31 RB Salzburg +4 Finally, with a victory, RB Salzburg played part of the game with a man less, but they will take points any way they can find them. 32 Bologna -2 Still searching for their first Champions League goal, Bologna’s defense will only get them so far. 33 young boys -2 Another week of being in a game but another loss in the tournament. 34 Red Star -1 Another tough defeat in Serbia, this time against Barcelona, ​​and it has simply been a bad run for Red Star. 35 SK Sturm Graz -1 Close defeats can be nice, but they still don’t count for much, even if they are against Borussia Dortmund. Austria’s bad streak in the Champions League continues. 36 Bratislava Slovakia — Allowing goals left and right, Slovan Bratislava could set a record for the most goals conceded in six games if they allow nine more to hit the back of the net in their next two games.
