Champions League standings – The Athletic

Just when you thought the Champions League group stage was becoming predictable, Manchester City and Real Madrid, the two teams most likely to win it all this season, took two beatings on Tuesday night that shook up the competition.

New Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim may have saved his best for last at Sporting Lisbon, where he exited his final home game with a 4-1 win over Manchester City.

Meanwhile, AC Milan added to Madrid’s woes in the Spanish capital with a 3-1 win and Liverpool brushed aside Bayer Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso 4-0 at Anfield to add to their credentials.

Under, Athletics rounds off the big talking points from Tuesday’s action.
