Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid remain the only teams with perfect records after four matchweeks of the Champions League league phase, while debutants Como stunned Lens with a historic 9-1 away victory to climb into the top ten of the latest power rankings.
PSG Extend Dominant Start
PSG top the rankings after a 6-0 thrashing of Villarreal, making it four wins from four without the injured Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Luis Enrique's side have scored 20 goals in the competition so far and face Roma, Aston Villa, Como and Galatasaray in their remaining fixtures.
Barcelona and Arsenal Hold Top Three Spots
Barcelona sit second despite a 4-2 loss to PSG, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha continuing exceptional form. Arsenal are third after a hard-fought 2-1 win at Slavia Prague, keeping them unbeaten ahead of home games against Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid.
Bayern and Real Madrid Round Out Top Five
Bayern Munich returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at Atletico Madrid, though Harry Kane's 10-match Champions League scoring streak ended. Real Madrid climbed to fifth after a dramatic 3-2 comeback win at AEK Athens, with Kylian Mbappe and Fede Valverde scoring late to maintain their 100% record under Jose Mourinho.
Manchester City and Liverpool Slip
Manchester City dropped to sixth following back-to-back Premier League defeats, despite a 3-2 win at RB Leipzig. Liverpool fell to seventh after a 3-2 loss at Fenerbahce, conceding three goals in three consecutive European games for the first time in their history.
Como's Historic Rise
Como made the biggest jump, rising five places to tenth after becoming the first team since 1971 to score nine goals away from home in the European Cup or Champions League. Cesc Fabregas's side thrashed Lens 9-1 and now sit fourth in the actual league phase standings, ahead of heavyweights like Bayern and Real Madrid.
Manchester United Revive Hopes
Manchester United climbed to 14th after a stunning comeback victory over Roma at Old Trafford, with Matheus Cunha scoring twice to potentially ease pressure on manager Michael Carrick.
