Bayern Munich are STILL the best, Liverpool star Jota is shining bright but Real Madrid and PSG are in danger of being dumped out... the Champions League group stage winners and losers in our half-time report

After what seems like no time at all, every side is three matches down in the Champions League - we're at half-time in the group stage.

So far, in a tightly congested European calendar which has seen three matchdays in quick succession, there's been plenty of talking points in just about every group.

Defending champions Bayern Munich continue to look close to unbeatable, while it isn't such plain sailing for 13-time winners Real Madrid or last season's runners-up Paris Saint-Germain.

Of the English contingent, every side is in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stage - in fact, despite their shock defeat by Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday night, Manchester United still top their group after three games, as do Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea.
