The first half of the 2026–27 Champions League league phase is done and dusted, and only two perfect teams remain: defending cup holders Paris Saint-Germain and 15-time European champions Real Madrid.
The two European giants sit atop the league phase standings, comfortably looking down at the other 34 teams competing for a knockout stage berth. PSG waltzed to a 6–0 victory over Villarreal to collect their fourth win in the competition, while Los Blancos needed another vintage comeback to squeak out a 3–2 victory over AEK Athens.
