 "UEFA Champions League 2024-25 points table")
Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 season saw another thrilling two days of football, with Aston Villa sitting at the top of the points table after registering back-to-back victories in the league. Defending champions Real Madrid got back to winning ways as they made a great comeback against last year's runners-up Dortmund, overturning a two-goal deficit to win the tie 5-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ballon d’Or nominee Vinicius Jr. scored a hat-trick for his side on the night as well.
The final round of fixtures on Wednesday saw another heavyweight clash between Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Raphinha’s hat-trick at home saw Hansi Flick beat his former side 4-1 on the night, highlighting how tough this new league stage format is proving to be, even for the bigger teams.
The top of the league table still looks a bit unfamiliar, though, with heavyweights like Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona and others still nowhere near the top five in the standings. Villa are followed by Liverpool (9 points), Man City (7 points), Monaco (7 points), and Brest (7 points) in the table.
Arsenal, Barcelona, Dortmund, and Real Madrid hold the 9th-12th spots respectively after not starting the league in the way they would have wanted so far.
