The first round of the new Champions League season has concluded, and the updated table reflects some surprising outcomes.
This season's competition has expanded to 36 teams, with a new format where each team faces eight different opponents—four at home and four away.
The results from these matches contribute to a single league table. The top eight teams will advance directly to the Round of 16, while the bottom eight will be eliminated from European competitions until next season.
The middle 16 teams will compete in play-offs to secure their spots in the knockout phase.
