Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are top of the Uefa Champions League table after both extended perfect starts to the league phase with wins this week. PSG beat Barcelona 4-2 in France, while Liverpool edged Villarreal 4-3 at Anfield to keep their records at three wins from three.
It was a night that shifted the early shape of the league phase, with several high-scoring matches adding to the pressure at the top. Barcelona's first defeat of the season came in Paris, where PSG were sharp enough to turn a tight contest into another statement result.
Vitinha helps PSG finish the job
Vitinha scored the clinching goal for Paris Saint-Germain against Barcelona, underlining why PSG have been able to stay perfect so far. The result moved them level with Liverpool on 100% and kept both teams ahead of the chasing pack in the standings.
Barcelona still pushed the match into a competitive scoreline, but PSG had enough quality to see it through. In a league phase where every result matters for position, that kind of win can carry real weight later on.
Liverpool stay perfect in a wild night of action
Liverpool's 4-3 win over Villarreal at Anfield was another reminder that the early table can change quickly when the goals start flowing. The Premier League side had to work for it, but the three points were enough to keep them right alongside PSG at the top of the Uefa Champions League table.
Elsewhere, Napoli beat Bodø/Glimt 4-3 in Naples, Manchester City won emphatically against their Greek opposition, and Stuttgart drew with Atleti after Morten Hjulmand's red card. The broader picture is clear: the league phase is already producing separation at the top, and PSG and Liverpool have made the strongest early start.
