The Champions League is Europe’s biggest club cup competition featuring the best teams from the continent’s top leagues. Fifteen-time European champions Real Madrid, seven-time winners AC Milan and six-time winners Liverpool and Bayern Munich are all looking to add to their tally this season.
As things are
Liverpool sit top of the 36-team Champions League table with six wins from six games so far and two to go. Arne Slot’s Liverpool side have so far beaten the likes of AC Milan, Bologna, RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid and Girona. The Reds must host LOSC Lille at Anfield and travel to Eindhoven to face PSV.
Current Champions Real Madrid are 20th in the new Champions League table, just five places away from elimination from the competition! Madrid have struggled this year, winning just three of the six games they have played in the UCL this season and losing the other three.
Madrid need to finish in the top 24 to secure a place in the playoffs or the top eight to automatically qualify for the round of 16. Real Madrid are currently 4 points off 8th place in the league, so it is not impossible to continue to qualify automatically. However, they need a flawless finish in the league stage. Ancelotti will be looking to avoid a play-off spot as it means two extra games are added to Madrid’s hectic schedule. These two matches will be played on February 11, 12, 18 and 19, 2025.
Another big name that looks more likely to miss out on a knockout spot or even a place in the play-offs is French Champions PSG. The Parisians currently occupy 25th place in the League. However, they are only a point behind Dinamo Zagreb, who have to face Arsenal next. While PSG also face a tough test against Man City.
