Latest Champions League standings: Real Madrid climbs to fifth with a 1-0 win over Juventus, Bayern wins 4-0 & Chelsea triumphs 5-1, five teams remain unbeaten

On October 23rd Beijing time, the third round of the Champions League group stage continued with multiple matches finishing early today, producing a chaotic night and several crushing losses. Highlights were Chelsea’s dominant 5-1 win over Ajax, Real Madrid’s tight 1-0 victory over Juventus, Bayern’s comprehensive 4-0 win against Club Brugge, and Liverpool’s impressive 5-1 comeback against Frankfurt. As a result, the updated standings show five teams maintaining perfect records: Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Arsenal, and Real Madrid. Juventus remains winless after three rounds, ranking 25th, while Benfica and Ajax have suffered three straight defeats and sit at the bottom!

Chelsea versus Ajax. Given Ajax’s significantly weakened squad compared to previous years, Chelsea rotated heavily for this home game. Shortly after kickoff, Ajax received a red card and was reduced to ten men. Chelsea then completely dominated the match, overwhelming their opponents with relentless attacking pressure. They unleashed a barrage of five goals, while Ajax managed to pull one back through a penalty. The match ended with Chelsea demolishing Ajax 5-1 — an absolutely commanding performance!

Real Madrid versus Juventus. This match was a marquee clash between the Spanish giants and the Italian powerhouses. Real Madrid launched a fierce offensive assault on Juventus. If not for several brilliant saves by the Juventus goalkeeper, who repeatedly blocked and parried many scoring chances, Madrid might have scored even more. Ultimately, a goal from Bellingham secured a 1-0 win for Real Madrid, earning them all three points and their third consecutive victory!

Bayern Munich versus Club Brugge. There was little suspense in this game, as Bayern dominated from start to finish. They unleashed relentless firepower, scoring multiple goals early on and stunning Club Brugge. Despite two goal-line clearances and three shots hitting the post, Bayern still managed a convincing 4-0 win. This result marks Bayern’s third straight victory!

Liverpool versus Frankfurt. Liverpool has been struggling in the league with a series of losses and sought a win in the Champions League. Although Frankfurt scored first early in the match, Liverpool remained composed and mounted continuous attacks. They quickly turned the game around with five consecutive goals, defeating Frankfurt 5-1 and ending a four-match losing streak across all competitions. However, despite the win, Salah’s performance was disappointing, as he appeared somewhat stubborn and overly independent on the pitch!
