Liverpool's unbeaten Champions League run ended with a 3-2 defeat at Fenerbahçe on Wednesday. Trey Nyoni gave the Reds an early lead with a deflected finish, and Alexander Isak extended their advantage in the second half. Vedat Muriqi's header in the 79th minute proved decisive as Fenerbahçe completed their comeback, with Mason Greenwood's earlier deflected free-kick equalizing for the hosts.
Real Madrid maintained their perfect record by winning 3-2 away at AEK Athens. Jude Bellingham's backheel flick and a late Federico Valverde strike secured victory after AEK had taken the lead twice. Kylian Mbappé also scored as Madrid recovered from being behind to stay second in the standings behind Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool sit fifth after the loss while Fenerbahçe climbed to 19th place. Madrid's win keeps them among the top eight positions that guarantee direct qualification to the last 16.
