Champions League table: League phase latest standings for 2024-25 season

Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa have all taken huge steps towards automatic qualification for the Champions League knockout stage.

The Reds sit on top of the table with maximum points following their 1-0 win over Girona on Tuesday night, despite Arne Slot expressing his frustration about the display.

Barcelona sit just behind them on 15 points after they beat Borussia Dortmund 3-2 on Wednesday.

Villa are among a clutch of teams on 13 points following their 3-2 win over RB Leipzig, while Arsenal are also part of that group after recording a 3-0 win over Monaco.

Manchester City, however, sit all the way down in 22nd following a 2-0 defeat at Juventus to extend a nightmare run for Pep Guardiola. Real Madrid got their stuttering campaign back up and running with a 3-2 win over high-flying Atalanta.

The teams who finish in the top eight in the league will automatically qualify for the round of 16. Those who finish between 9th and 24th will compete in a two-legged knockout play-off to earn the right to progress, while those who finish lower will be eliminated from European competition entirely.
