The defeats of Real Madrid and Manchester City, another victory for Liverpool – all this happened during Tuesday’s Champions League matches. The new format of the best club competitions means that the giants of European football will have to worry and fight for places that will allow them to advance to the 1/8 finals of the Champions League.
Nine of the eighteen matches of the fourth round of the Champions League are behind us. Tuesday’s matches brought two sensational results. Real Madrid returned to the game after a 4-0 defeat against FC Barcelona in El Clasico. “The Royals” faced AC Milan at home and lost 1:3! This makes Real’s situation in the table more complicated and it may be difficult for them to advance directly to the 1/8 finals.

Champions League Shocker: Real Madrid and City Tumble!
If you thought last night’s Champions League matches were just another day at the office, well,
newsflash! Football giants like Real Madrid and Manchester City decided to throw in the towel faster than a politician dodges questions—losing in spectacular fashion! And as we know, nothing brings joy to the hearts of football fans quite like the sight of their rivals flopping around like a fish out of water.
Yes, that’s right, folks! Tuesday was a real feast for the underdogs and a nightmare for the mighty. Liverpool rolled on with their winning trajectory, while two of Europe’s most storied clubs were caught off guard—and not in a good way! They’ve got more worry and anxiety than a cat at a dog show.
Match Recaps: The Giants Stumble
Let’s break it down, shall we? First, we head to Madrid, where the so-called “Royals” faced a rather unfriendly visitor—AC Milan. To say their performance was “subpar” would be like saying a black hole is just a bit of a vacuum. They lost 1:3 in what can only be described as a tragic ending to a fairytale season that’s gone askew quicker than you can say “Galácticos.” After a 4-0 thrashing by FC Barcelona not too long ago, this defeat sends them spiraling deeper into the Champions League abyss. Their upcoming games are looking about as promising as a rainy day at the beach!
Meanwhile, Manchester City ventured into Lisbon for a clash with Sporting Lisbon and, you guessed it, flopped spectacularly with a scoreline of 1:4! Guardiola’s men, who usually look so confident they could convince you to buy a ticket on the Titanic, must have felt the weight of the world on their shoulders after Viktor Gyokeres made them look like amateurs with a hat-trick. Bless their cotton socks!
Liverpool: The Kingpins of Victory
On the brighter side (for them anyway), Liverpool was strutting their stuff, beating Bayer Leverkusen into submission with a dazzling 4-0 performance. Arne Slot’s boys didn’t stand a chance—no one puts baby in the corner when the Reds are on the prowl! It was almost like watching a lion amongst scared little kittens; not even close!
In additional matches, AS Monaco sneaked past Bologna with a slim but decisive 1-0, while Borussia Dortmund celebrated a narrow 1-0 victory over Sturm Graz—rolling in the kind of defensive game that could put an insomniac to sleep.
