PSG sit 2nd on 3 points, Bayern are 3rd on the same tally, and the two are separated only by goals scored.
Last played
Two clubs, one record, no margin. PSG and Bayern have each played 1 match in this UEFA Champions League campaign, each won it, and each collected 3 points. The table puts PSG 2nd and Bayern 3rd, with a goal difference of 5 and 5 respectively.
What splits them is almost nothing. PSG have scored 6 and conceded 1. Bayern have scored 5 and conceded 0. Same goal difference, different shape — one side has been generous at both ends, the other has simply shut the door.
Above them sits Sporting CP on 6 points at the top of the standings, a position built on a goal difference of +3. Behind the leading pair, Barça and Man United are level on 3 points each, with +4 and +4 to their names, and Como 1907 follow on 3.
Domestic form tells a slightly different story. Bayern arrive with a run of W, W, L, D, W across their last five league outings, and a current streak of 1W. PSG have gone W, W, D, W, W, with 2W.
At home, PSG have won 5, drawn 2 and lost 0. On the road they have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1. Bayern's home record reads 4 wins, 1 draws, 0 defeats; away it is 3, 0, 1.
Does any of that settle the order? No. Points are level and the tiebreak is thin enough that a single afternoon could flip it.
In the scoring charts, Ermedin Demirovic of Stuttgart and Ferrán Torres of PSG lead on 3 goals each, ahead of Erling Haaland, Sehrou Guirassy and Bartra on 2. The next European fixtures land on Tuesday 13 October, when the competition resumes.
