In the 6th round, Liverpool was the first team to play, playing away at Girona (Spain). Before this round, coach Arne Slot and his team were showing impressive form in the Champions League with 5 wins in a row, leading the group.
Determined to win the match, Liverpool still fielded their strongest lineup. Throughout the 90 minutes, the Premier League representative dominated the game, holding the ball for nearly 70%. Mohamed Salah and his teammates fired 16 shots, half of which were on target, causing Girona's goal to sway. In the 76th minute, the Egyptian striker opened the scoring with an accurate penalty kick.
Former MU player - Donny van de Beek was the player who made the mistake that led to Girona's loss when he had a poor defensive situation, stepping on Luis Díaz's heel.

The remaining time witnessed Girona's tireless efforts to find an equalizer. The La Liga representative also shot 13 times in this match but unfortunately the ball was not accurate. The score of 1-0 in favor of Liverpool was maintained until the end of the match and coach Arne Slot's team had their 6th consecutive win in the number 1 European club tournament.
Including the 1-0 win over Girona, Liverpool are showing superior strength, going through a series of 19 consecutive unbeaten matches in all competitions. The "Red Brigade" currently has 18 points, maintaining the top position and ensuring a place in the knockout round.

In Ukraine, Shakhtar Donetsk hosted Bayern Munich with the goal of getting a point to keep their hopes of advancing alive. In the 5th minute, Kevin rekindled hope for the home team with an accurate kick, opening the score of the match.
However, the early goal seemed to hurt Bayern Munich's pride. The "Gray Tigers" created a one-sided game for the rest of the match. Before the first half ended, Konrad Laimer (minute 11) and Thomas Muller (minute 45) scored, helping Bayern Munich lead Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1. In the second half, coach Kompany's team continued to dominate, scoring 3 more goals to end the match with a score of 5-1. This important victory helped Bayern Munich have 12 points after 6 matches in the Champions League, climbing to 7th place.

Real Madrid, PSG win but still face difficulties
Since the beginning of the 2024-2025 season, Real Madrid has been the most disappointing team in the Champions League. Despite being the defending champion, the "White Vulture" has encountered many difficulties, losing 3/5 matches and falling to 24th place. Without a victory on Atalanta's field, a ticket to the play-off round will be far away for Real Madrid.
In the first half, Mbappe continued to be the center of attention on the field. In the 10th minute, the French striker handled the ball confidently, helping the away team lead 1-0. However, in the 35th minute, he was forced to leave the field early due to injury. Without Mbappe, Real Madrid unexpectedly lost control of the game at the end of the first half. In the 45+1 minute, coach Carlo Ancelotti's team let Atalanta find the equalizer 1-1 thanks to Charles De Ketelaere. In the second half, Real Madrid played better, scoring 2 consecutive goals thanks to Vinicius (minute 56) and Jude Bellingham (minute 59) to lead 3-1. On the opposite side, Ademola Lookman's goal in the 65th minute was all the home team could do in this half, accepting a 2-3 loss to Real Madrid.
Defeating Atalanta 3-2, Real Madrid has 9 points after 6 matches in the 2024 - 2025 Champions League. However, the Spanish "Royal" team is only ranked 18th, 4 points away from the top 8.

Similar to Real Madrid, PSG is also having difficulties in the Champions League. Despite playing with great effort, winning 3-0 right at Red Bull Salzburg, the right to self-determination is no longer in PSG's hands. Coach Luis Enrique's team has only 7 points after 6 matches, standing at 24th place and at high risk of having to play the play-off.
Other match results: Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 Inter Milan, Leipzig 2-3 Aston Villa, Brest 1-0 PSV Eindhoven, Club Brugge 2-1 Sporting Lisbon, Dinamo Zagreb 0-0 Celtic.
