UEFA Champions League 2024-25: Latest Standings and Matchday 3 Results

The 2024-25 UEFA Champions League is underway with a new format that has garnered significant attention. Unlike previous seasons, the group stage has been replaced by a single league table where all 32 teams compete against each other. Each team will play eight games, four at home and four away, against teams from different pots.

As of the latest matchday, Aston Villa tops the table with a perfect record of 3 wins and 0 losses, boasting a goal difference of +6 and 9 points. AS Monaco follows closely with 2 wins and 1 draw, having a goal difference of +5 and 7 points.

Matchday 3 saw several notable results. On Tuesday, October 22, Real Madrid thrashed Borussia Dortmund 5-2, while AC Milan secured a 3-1 victory over Club Brugge. Arsenal edged out Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0, and Juventus suffered a surprising 0-1 loss to Stuttgart. Other significant results included AS Monaco’s 5-1 win over Red Star Belgrade and Girona‘s 2-0 victory over Slovan Bratislava.

The new format dictates that the top eight teams in the league phase will automatically qualify for the Round of 16. Teams finishing in positions 9-24 will enter a knockout round, while those in positions 25-36 will be eliminated from the Champions League and any other European competition for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

The ongoing matchday 3 continues on Wednesday, October 23, with matches such as RB Leipzig vs. Liverpool, Manchester City vs. Sparta Praha, and Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich, among others.
