Six Premier League teams played in the Champions League quarter-finals, with two draws and four losses, achieving no victories; Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham all suffered three-goal defeats.

This season, nine Premier League teams participated in European competitions, all advancing to the knockout stages. Among them, six teams played in the Champions League and all reached the quarter-finals. However, as the first leg of the quarter-finals began, the Premier League experienced a major setback: the six teams playing in the first leg of the quarter-finals achieved zero wins, with Tottenham, Manchester City, and Chelsea all suffering three-goal defeats.

The results of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals:

• Galatasaray 1-0Liverpool!
• Atalanta 1-6 Bayern!
• Atlético Madrid 5-2Tottenham!
• Newcastle1-1 Barcelona!
• Leverkusen 1-1Arsenal!
• Bodø/Glimt 3-0 Sporting Portugal!
• Paris 5-2Chelsea!
• Real Madrid 3-0Manchester City!

• Liverpool was defeated twice this season by the Turkish Super League powerhouse Galatasaray, quite a miserable outcome!
• Tottenham suffered a 2-5 defeat to Atlético Madrid, with the goalkeeper making two costly mistakes. Under coach Tudor, they have now lost four consecutive matches, a truly dismal performance!
• Arsenal drew 1-1 with Leverkusen; the Premier League leader failed to win even against a perceived weaker opponent, disappointing Arsenal fans and Premier League supporters alike.
• Newcastle drew 1-1 with Barcelona; the Magpies dominated but couldn't secure a win, ultimately being equalized by a penalty.
• Chelsea lost 2-5 to Paris; at Paris's home ground, the Blues were helpless, and their goalkeeper also made costly errors. Paris avenged their defeat in the Club World Cup final.
• Manchester City lost 0-3 to Real Madrid, the most surprising match for fans. Real Madrid, despite having a depleted squad and poor form, managed a three-goal victory. Haaland consistently underperforms in high-pressure matches, and it now appears that Guardiola's decision to let Álvarez go was a major mistake.
