4 most in-form teams in the UEFA Champions League so far this season

The 2022-23 UEFA Champions League campaign is one matchday away from reaching the Round of 16 stage of the competition.

The competition has been immense so far and several teams have established themselves as worthy contenders for the trophy.

Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and Napoli, as well as several other teams, have booked their spot in the knockout stages with a game in hand.

Surprisingly, Barcelona, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid have all crashed out of the competition.

As such, this article will look at the four best-performing teams in the UEFA Champions League this season so far.


#4 Manchester City

The Cityzens are one of the best-performing teams in this year's edition of the UEFA Champions League.

Manchester City have won three and drawn two out of their five games in the competition this season. They are yet to register a defeat in the competition so far.

Group G winners! 💙

Manchester City are the current Group G leaders with 11 points from five games, netting 11 goals and conceding only one goal so far.

If Pep Guardiola's side can maintain their consistency, they stand a great chance of progressing further and potentially even lifting their maiden Champions League trophy.

Last 16 here we go 😄🔵

PSG were also eliminated by Real Madrid in the Round of 16 last season.

40 of PSG’s 50 goals this season have come from three players:
