Champions League standings 2025-26: Table, results and how Real Madrid and Barcelona stand after Matchday 7

T he Champions League has put the finishing touch to the penultimate matchday of the league phase. This seventh week of competition leaves an extremely tight picture at the top of the table with almost everything to play for. Only Arsenal and Bayern are assured of their place in the last 16. Below them, the battle is on and it will be fierce

Real Madrid, Liverpool (15 points) and Tottenham (14 points) follow the Gunners and the Bavarians. Behind them are eight teams with 13 points. This war scenario is what has left us with a last matchday with several important surprises that have left the classification so compressed, such as Athletic's meritorious victory in Bergamo and the defeats of PSG and Manchester City against Sporting Lisbon and Bodo/Glimt respectively.

As far as the Spanish representatives are concerned, Madrid is practically assured of a place in the top eight. After Los Blancos, the next best team is Barca, who will almost certainly finish in the top eight if they thrash Copenhagen at home on the final matchday. In any case, Flick's side will have to keep an eye on what happens in other stadiums.

For example, what happens at the Metropolitano. Atletico, with the same number of points as the Catalans, is obliged to beat Bodo/Glimt if it wants to have a chance of finishing in the top eight
