The third round of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase has concluded, with nine matches played on the second evening of Matchday 3, producing several surprising results.
As reported by İdman.Biz, one of the standout encounters took place in Munich, where Bayern Munich and Arsenal shared the points in a thrilling 2-2 draw. The London club took the lead before conceding twice, but Declan Rice struck in the 82nd minute to rescue a point for the visitors.
Real Madrid continued their impressive start to the competition with a convincing 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig, securing their third consecutive win.
Another major surprise came in Italy, where Como stunned Manchester United with a remarkable 4-1 triumph. Nico Paz was the star of the evening, scoring twice and providing an assist.

Galatasaray recorded an impressive 4-2 away win against Lille, while Club Brugge comfortably beat Lens 3-0. Austrian side LASK also produced an upset, defeating Sporting CP 3-2 in Lisbon.
Following three rounds, Paris Saint-Germain lead the 36-team standings with nine points. Aston Villa, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Real Betis also have perfect records, occupying second through fifth places respectively.

Azerbaijan's Sabah, who suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, currently occupy 25th place with three points from three matches and a goal difference of minus three (3:6).

Sabah will look to improve their position when they travel to Norway to face Viking on November 4 in their fourth league-phase fixture.
