This season’s UEFA Champions League introduces a major change, shifting from the traditional group stage to a league stage with 36 teams. In this new setup, each club plays eight matches against different opponents, creating more variety and intensity across fixtures. 

Matchday 3 saw thrilling moments, with high-scoring games and impressive performances. Aston Villa continued their strong form with three consecutive wins, keeping a clean sheet and securing the top spot. Liverpool also maintained their unbeaten record, while Real Madrid and Barcelona, led by hat-tricks from Vinicius Jr. and Rafinha, claimed comeback victories over Dortmund and Bayern Munich respectively. 

On Matchday 4, all eyes will be on Real Madrid and AC Milan as they clash at Santiago Bernabeu in a battle of Champions League heavyweights. Liverpool will host Bayer Leverkusen, with coach Xabi Alonso returning to Anfield.

Aston Villa will aim to defend their top position against Club Brugge, while Sporting CP faces Manchester City, adding further excitement as teams vie for the coveted top eight spots. And to sum up this week we have PSG taking on Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan hosting Arsenal 

The Sporting News looks at the key fixture details this week and how to follow the matches.
