Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern and Atlético Madrid earned crucial wins on Tuesday night as the UEFA Champions League group stage reached a decisive phase. The victories strengthened their qualification chances while shaking up the standings for other European heavyweights.
Gunners Stay Flawless with 3–0 Win Over Slavia Prague
Arsenal continued their dream Champions League campaign with a commanding 3–0 victory over Slavia Prague, sealing their fourth straight group-stage win.
The Gunners showed both class and composure, extending their remarkable eight-match clean sheet streak in all competitions. Mikel Arteta’s side once again displayed balance, combining sharp finishing with solid defensive structure and now sit comfortably at the top of the champions league table, level on points and goal difference with Bayern Munich.
Their dominance at the Emirates highlighted Arsenal’s growing maturity on the European stage, as fans begin to believe this could finally be their breakthrough campaign in the Champions League.
Liverpool Can Finally Move On from Trent: Reds Edge Real Madrid in Tight Anfield Clash
Liverpool sealed a crucial 1–0 victory over Real Madrid at Anfield, a result that reignites their Champions League campaign and ended the Spanish giants’ perfect group-stage run. Alexis Mac Allister’s 61st-minute header was the difference in a high-intensity contest under the lights.
But the night’s biggest story wasn’t just the win, it was Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return to Anfield, this time as an opposition player in Madrid colours.
The former Liverpool vice-captain received a mixed reception from the home crowd, his every touch followed by both applause and jeers from the fans.
Liverpool, however, looked composed, showing they can thrive without their former star. The backline, led by Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson, held firm against Madrid’s attacking threats, with goalkeeper Alisson producing key saves in the dying minutes.
The victory lifts Liverpool into strong contention for qualification, while Real Madrid’s first group-stage defeat of the season leaves them facing renewed pressure ahead of the return fixtures.
Atlético Madrid Reignite Hopes with 3–1 Win Over Union SG
At the Metropolitano, Atlético Madrid returned to winning ways with a 3–1 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise.
The home side started strong with an early opener, doubled their advantage midway through the second half, and sealed the game in stoppage time after Union SG briefly threatened with an 80th-minute goal.
The win puts Diego Simeone’s men firmly back in the qualification race. For Union SG, however, the night underlined their struggles — just three points from four matches and an uphill battle ahead.
Bayern Edges PSG 2–1 in Dramatic UCL Night
Bayern Munich extended their remarkable run with a 2–1 victory at PSG in the Champions League. The German side took control early, thanks to a brace by Luis Díaz in the first half.

PSG fought back in the second half with a goal from João Neves, but were unable to find an equaliser. The win keeps Bayern on track as group favourites, while PSG face fresh injury concerns and a tougher path ahead
As the group stage enters its final stretch, attention now turns to whether Arsenal can maintain their unbeaten run and secure qualification early.
