Matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League saw leaders Arsenal make it seven wins from seven with a 3-1 victory away to Inter Milan, while Bayern Munich remained second with a 2-0 win over Union St. Gilloise. Real Madrid climbed to third with a 6-1 thumping of AS Monaco, while Liverpool continued their winning ways with a 3-0 victory over Marseille. Manchester City were left stunned after falling to a 1-3 defeat away to Bodo/Glimt, while Chelsea and Barcelona picked up wins to remain in the top 8 race.

Tottenham Hotspur leapfrogged PSG into fifth place after a win over Borussia Dortmund as the defending champions fell to a shock defeat away to Sporting CP. Newcastle United picked up a 3-0 win over PSV Eindhoven, and it was a poor round for Serie A clubs, with Juventus the only one to win.
