Champions League power rankings: Barcelona, ​​Liverpool and Inter impress; Man City and Real Madrid stumble

1 Liverpool +1 Four wins from four games, Arne Slot seems to be allergic to losing points. A second-half hat-trick from Luis Diaz galvanized Liverpool and every week a different attacker shows why he should be feared. 2 Barcelona +1 There is no team in the world that can stop this attack. After another two goals from Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona dropped five goals against Crvena zvezda in an important way. 3 Inter +4 This is a team that could win this competition. By converting a penalty just before half-time and then retaining the lead with key saves from Yann Sommer, Inter can claim any victory, even if they are not at their best. 4 Manchester City -3 Without Rodri it has become far too easy to play through Man City's midfield. Sporting CP made quick work and Erling Haaland missed a penalty. It's not time to hit the panic button yet, but it's within reach. 5 arsenal — One penalty is enough to lose a game at this level. Arsenal created plenty of chances but couldn't find the finishing touch. 6 Atalanta +4 Atalanta still hasn't conceded a goal in the Champions League game, but secured more points with a win over Stuttgart. Ademola Lookman continued his strong play and this is a team that is turning heads. 7 Monaco +8 Another professional performance from Monaco and another three points, only six undefeated teams remain in the league phase and Monaco is one of them. 8 Sporting Club Lisbon +5 Thanks to a hat-trick from Viktor Gyokeres, Ruben Amorim and Sporting CP were able to dismantle Manchester City. It begs the question of what comes next if Amorim moves to Man United, but he leaves this team in an excellent position. 9 Lille — Have a nice day, Jonathan David. With his goal in the first half, he now has six goals in the Champions League game. Lille are in top form and are picking up points against some of the best teams in the world. 10 Bayern Munich +1 Bayern Munich managed just enough to get past Benfica, but it all counts the same as it was an important result for Vincent Komapny's side. 11 Bayer Leverkusen -3 Going to Anfield and losing is one thing. It's another thing to go to Anfield and be knocked out 4-0. That won't cost Bayer Leverkusen much, but it does dampen expectations of how far they can go in this competition. 12 real Madrid -8 Los Blancos have a Kylian Mbappé problem. This attack is crying out for a solid nine, and they haven't been able to get it from the Frenchman so far. To win another Champions League title, this team needs to be transformed. 13 Aston Villa -7 Villa's charmed life has taken a hit. They only had one shot on goal in Belgium and are no longer unbeaten in the UCL. They had to make up for a lack of depth, but now Unai Emery needs to find balance. 14 Milan +8 After another assist from Christian Pulisic, Milan entered the Santiago Bernabeu and left the stadium with three points, an impressive result. This could be the start of a trend as Rafael Leao is also putting in a strong performance. 15 Brest -1 Brest continues to play well away from home as the French teams put in strong performances. On the way to fourth place in the table, Brest's first Champions League will be an unforgettable experience. 16 Borussia Dortmund +2 It took longer than expected to find a winner at home, but keeping a clean sheet and picking up three points is a job well done. 17 Atletico Madrid +2 It took deep into stoppage time, but Angel Correa put the finishing touches on Diego Simone's team and secured their second win of the league phase. Just having six points in four games isn't good enough, but at least they're in the top 24. 18 Juventus -6 A draw is a good result, but Juventus had to be saved by a penalty. The team has never been the same since Bremer's demise. 19 Celtic +2 It's still hard to gauge who the real Celtics are, but a comprehensive victory over RB Leipzig is a step closer to progressing out of the league stage, which would be an achievement for the Scottish team. 20 PSV — The win over Girona was a milestone this season for PSV, and USMNT man Malik Tillman played a crucial role, scoring a goal and assisting another. 21 Benfica -4 It's been a strong start to the league phase for Benfica, but having now lost two games in a row, they need to get back into form quickly in the competition. 22 Paris Saint Germain -8 Concerns are growing for PSG after they lost a victorious home game against Atlético Madrid. They have only scored three goals in four games and are sorely missing Kylian Mbappe. 23 Dinamo Zagreb +5 Don't look now, but the Croatian team is quickly rising up the table after remaining unbeaten in their last three games. This could be one of the surprise teams to make it out of the league stage. 24 VfB Stuttgart — Stuttgart is in every game but fails to make it count. Four out of four points is fine, but Denis Undav needs to become what Serhou Guirassy was. 25 Club Brugge +4 Finally, their good play was rewarded. The win against Aston Villa in Belgium is exactly the victory Brugge needs to progress. 26 Girona -3 Girona's loss to PSV, another team whose Champions League debut is forgettable, was a pretty devastating defeat. The Spanish team needs to gain a foothold quickly. 27 Feyenoord -2 After a big win and a devastating defeat, Feyenoord still hasn't come close to repeating last season's form. 28 Sparta Prague -2 A strong start to the league phase has now turned into two defeats in a row. This game against Brest was winnable and the lost points could hurt. 29 RB Leipzig -2 Four games, zero points. They are in second place in the Bundesliga, but since they didn't get any points in the Champions League, they are worried. 30 Shakhtar Donetsk +2 The first victory in the Champions League is the hardest and now that Shakhtar have achieved it, it is time to look forward. 31 RB Salzburg +4 RB Salzburg finally got off to a good start with a win and played ahead for part of the game, but they will get points any way they can. 32 Bologna -2 Still looking for their first Champions League goal, Bologna's defense will only get away with it so far. 33 Young boys -2 Another week in a match, but another loss in the tournament. 34 Crvena zvezda -1 Another heavy defeat in Serbia, this time against Barcelona, ​​and it was simply a bad run for Crvena zvezda. 35 SK Sturm Graz -1 Narrow defeats may be nice, but they don't count for much against Borussia Dortmund either. Austria's bad series in the Champions League game continues. 36 Slovak Bratislava — Slovan Bratislava allowed goals both left and right and could set a record for most goals conceded in six games if nine more goals are conceded in the next two games.
