A record nine goals in a Champions League game is a great way to start the tournament. Bayern may need to strengthen their defence, but does it really matter if they keep scoring?
2
real Madrid
+2
Kylian Mbappé has yet to be fully exploited, but that doesn't matter because Madrid have a very good squad. Teenagers Arda Guler and Endrick are already game-changers and few teams can match that talent.
3
Manchester City
-3
This could be attributed to the fact that as long as Erling Haaland is on the pitch, Manchester City will have a chance to win a Champions League title. While he hasn't always featured in the biggest games for City, he does more than enough to always give them a chance to win.
4
Paris Saint Germain
+2
Even though a goalkeeping error saved the game, there is no denying that PSG deserved to beat Girona. With an average of 2.23 goals scored and one shot allowed, this team is on the right track and will do well in the future.
5
Liverpool
+3
They came to Milan, saw the sights and won after being down in the second minute of play. It was also Arne Slot's first away win in the Champions League, which is great to start with.
6
Juventus
+3
Juventus are back. They may have faced only PSV in their first game, but the way they beat the Dutch side was important.
7
Atletico Madrid
+3
Atletico Madrid never get bored and find a way to beat RB Leipzig in added time. They could do well to start quicker, but a win is a win.
8
Barcelona
-5
Facing adversity for the first time this season, Eric Garcia was sent off after 10 minutes and Barcelona now have questions to answer as their deep options are not up to par.
9
Arsenal
-2
Without David Raya, this game would have been very different. Arsenal's defence was good, but their attack was not up to par.
10
Bury
-3
After some rotations, Inter travelled to Manchester, where they withstood 22 shots and took a point. It was not a pleasant match, but it showed that Inter can still compete for the Champions League title.
11
Bayer Leverkusen
—
Playing their Champions League game on a Thursday was just what the doctor ordered for the Europa League runners-up. Florian Wirtz announced himself with a goal in less than five minutes and this team is a team to be feared.
12
Atalanta
—
Atalanta came with a plan and Arsenal couldn't stop them. They should have just managed a win, but a draw is still a good result.
13
Sporting Lisbon
—
Viktor Gyokeres has been involved in a goal in every game for club or country this season. Sporting, who are already in the thick of the Champions League, are a team that could be a surprise opponent.
14
Benfica
+1
Coming to Serbia and dominating Red Star is an impressive result. Kerem Akurkoglu has scored in his first two games for the club and looks set to be key in this Champions League race.
15
Borussia Dortmund
+1
Dortmund may have left things to the last minute in their opening game, but Nuri Sahin's three goals from substitute positions will give the new coach confidence in his decisions.
16
Aston Villa
+4
Villa went to Switzerland and took care of business. You couldn't ask for more. Unai Emery knows what he's doing in European competitions and it shows.
17
RB Leipzig
-3
After scoring an early goal, RB Leipzig need to improve and convert their good chances into real victories when it matters.
18
Monaco
+3
It wasn't pretty, but beating Barcelona at home is a great result. They were too vulnerable to counterattacks, but what matters is the victory.
19
Brest
+5
Welcome to the Champions League. Brest may have had one of the easiest games to start the Champions League, but three points will put them in the top 24.
20
Celtic
+5
After being big winners from the start, Celtic have managed to improve their goal difference considerably and can now start dreaming about their path to the last 16.
21
Milan
-4
It has been a start to the season to forget for Paulo Fonseca but he will have those glorious minutes during which he allowed Liverpool to pull back.
22
Lilac
-3
Losing to Sporting isn't the worst thing, but losing Angel Gomes for their next game is a big blow for Lille.
23
PSV
-5
It was not the start PSV would have hoped for, but unlike other teams in the competition, they did not destroy their goal difference early on.
24
Girona
-2
Despite the defeat against PSG, Girona had a good start to the Champions League. When they face teams of their own category, there will be no reason why they cannot pick up points and finish in the top 24.
25
Sparta Prague
+5
Achieving one of the most impressive victories, three points and three goals is just the necessary start.
26
Bologna
-3
In this expanded Champions League, teams need to win their home games and, despite dominating, Bologna could not achieve that.
27
Stuttgart
-2
Despite losing to Real Madrid, the German team put in a great effort. Their defence is a major concern, but their matches are also must-watch.
28
Young boys
+6
It could have been worse to play against Aston Villa, but it could also have been better. Young Boys will have to dust themselves off and show that they have improved.
29
Club Brugge
-2
Brugge did not want to take advantage of a good first half against Borussia Dortmund. The collapse in the second half, with three goals conceded, was also worrying.
30
Shakhtar Donetsk
+2
If you miss a penalty, you will pay for it with points.
31
red star
-2
Brave effort at home against Benfica. Despite the defeat, there is still a clear path to qualification.
32
RB Salzburg
+1
RB Salzburg's defence is poor, but their attack is supposed to be capable of scoring goals. If they can't do either of those things, that's a problem.
33
SK Strum Graz
+3
It was a hard-fought game against Brest, but it may also have been the most winnable game Sturm Graz will play in this competition.
34
Dinamo Zagreb
-6
Scoring two goals against Bayern is good. Conceding nine goals to Bayern is bad.
35
Slavic Bratislava
-4
Celtic denied Slovan Bratislava a Champions League welcome in a game to forget.
36
Feyenoord
-1
This team is unlucky and its defense is poor. It is not a good combination, as the loss of coach Slot is huge.
