Following Barcelona's 3-3 draw with Club Brugge, Manchester City's 4-1 win over Dortmund, and Inter Milan's 2-1 victory, the latest Champions League standings have been released.

On November 6th Beijing time, the fourth round of the Champions League wrapped up. In the latest matches, Chelsea shocked many by drawing 2-2 with the underdog Qarabağ, Manchester City dominated with a 4-1 thrashing of Bundesliga giant Dortmund, Inter Milan, despite struggling, edged out weak Almaty Kairat 2-1, and Barcelona was unexpectedly held 3-3 by Club Brugge. Consequently, the updated table places Inter Milan third with four wins in a row, Manchester City fourth unbeaten after four games, and Barcelona sitting at 11th place!

Chelsea versus Qarabağ. Chelsea fielded a rotated lineup aiming to secure victory with minimal effort. However, they almost backfired on themselves. After the kickoff, Chelsea initiated attacks and scored first on the road, but Qarabağ counterattacked sharply, scoring twice within 10 minutes to quickly overturn the scoreline. In the second half, Chelsea rallied, with Nacho stepping up to equalize. Ultimately, Chelsea shockingly drew 2-2, turning what seemed like a sure three points into just one—a truly disappointing outcome!

Manchester City faced Dortmund. In this match, City played very efficiently, no longer obsessing over possession but creating numerous threats. Foden was highly effective, scoring twice, Haaland continued his scoring streak, and Çelik played impressively with precise passing. In the final moments, Çelik added another goal to seal the deal. This 4-1 demolition of Dortmund showed that the dominant Manchester City has returned, and they are now even more formidable and consistent!

Inter Milan versus Almaty Kairat. Facing the Champions League newcomers Almaty Kairat, the two teams had a huge gap in market value. However, Inter, playing at home, looked visibly exhausted and in poor form. Although the match was unattractive, Inter still managed a narrow 2-1 win, securing their fourth consecutive Champions League victory. Yet, the real test for Inter will come next round, as their first four matches lacked the challenge of facing teams from the top five leagues, which makes their performance less convincing!

Club Brugge 3-3 Barcelona. This game featured a thrilling back-and-forth goal fest. The home side Brugge played aggressively, taking the lead three times, but Barcelona showed resilience by equalizing each time. In the final moments, Brugge scored again, but the goal was harshly disallowed, allowing Barcelona to escape with a lucky draw. Ultimately, the match ended 3-3, with Barcelona struggling defensively and relying on luck for goals. Without Pedri in midfield, creativity was absent, making it unlikely for Barcelona to realistically aim for the title this season!
