Six teams have made the perfect start in the UEFA Youth League Champions League path league phase after the second set of matches, with PSV Eindhoven, Slavia Praha and Villarreal joining Feyenoord, Paris Saint-Germain and holders Real Madrid on six points.
The league phase mirrors the first six matchdays of the senior competition, so the early standings already provide a clear picture of which clubs are moving well toward the top 22 and, ultimately, the round of 32. With Friday 11 December set for the round of 32 draw, every point in the next stretch will matter.
How the six-point group was formed
Tuesday brought second wins for PSV Eindhoven, Slavia Praha and Villarreal in the UEFA Youth League Champions League path league phase. On Wednesday, Feyenoord, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid also won again to join the perfect-start group.
Real Madrid’s latest result was a 1-0 win at Roma, with Carlos Díez scoring the only goal. That kept the holders perfect after two matchdays and ensured they stayed right in the mix at the top of the standings.
The other headline result involving one of the early contenders came when Viking defeated Bayern 5-0, a reminder that the opening phase of the competition can produce some wide margins and a few early surprises.
Why it matters next
With six points already secured, the unbeaten teams have given themselves a strong platform in the race for the round of 32. The current format still leaves room for movement, but the clubs on maximum points are in the best position heading into the next matchdays.
For now, the story is simple: six teams sit on perfect six-point starts, and Champions League Winners Real Madrid remain among them after another narrow but important victory.
