Champions League table: League phase latest standings for 2024-25 season as Liverpool go top again

The Champions League intensity surged following the fifth round of fixtures in the league phase.

Liverpool returned to the top of the table with an emphatic victory over Real Madrid, thanks to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo. Arne Slot's side remains undefeated with five wins from five games.

Elsewhere, Aston Villa battled Juventus to a 0-0 draw, missing a last-gasp winner controversially, while Celtic secured a point against Club Brugge.

Arsenal and Manchester City were in action on Tuesday night as they sought to recover from their previous defeats.

The Gunners, coming off a loss to Inter Milan before the international break, triumphed over Sporting CP with a commanding 5-1 victory.

Manchester City, who were hammered by the same Portuguese side earlier this month, played Feyenoord at home. Despite leading 3-0, they let the game slip in the late stages, continuing their recent struggles.

This week featured several heavyweight clashes. Bayern Munich defeated Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, and a resurgent Barcelona managed to overcome a high-flying Brest.
