Champions League Results: Wins for Real Madrid and Bayern, Liverpool’s Rout, and Athletic’s First Points

The Champions League matchday on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, proved less explosive than Tuesday’s goal-filled spectacle, yet still quite productive — even if it lacked major upsets.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich recorded their third consecutive victories, joining Arsenal, PSG, and Inter at the top of the standings.

Athletic Bilbao finally earned their first points of the campaign, while Liverpool bounced back after four straight defeats. In that match, Florian Wirtz registered his first goal contributions for the Reds after 11 goalless appearances. Hungary’s captain Dominik Szoboszlai added a goal and an assist before traveling to Yerevan for his national team duty.
