Champions League Power Rankings: PSG hold top spot as Como surge under Cesc Fabregas

Four matchdays are behind us, and everyone is still chasing Paris Saint-Germain. PSG haven't let injuries to key players like Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia stop them from hanging crooked numbers on teams around the world, but even they couldn't match Como, who put nine goals past Lens. Under Cesc Fabregas, Como have become an absolute unit and are rolling up the power rankings because of that. They've yet to enter the PSG, Arsenal, Barcelona, and Real Madrid tier of contenders, but as Nico Paz improves, Como aren't far off.

There was plenty of carnage in the middle, with Liverpool, Real Betis, and Roma all dropping points. But that's also the beauty of the league phase: no one is out of a match, and it's impossible to predict everything correctly. No one had Manchester United ending their nine-match winless run against Roma, but that's also what makes soccer great. For 90 minutes, it seemed like AEK Athens were going to get a point off Real Madrid, but that also wasn't able to hold up, while City also were pushed to the brink by RB Leipzig. These are the things that make Champions League soccer so great, but they also mean that it's another week with plenty of shifts in the power rankings, so let's get to those:
