Real Madrid Fight Back to Beat AEK Athens 3-2 and Stay Perfect in Europe

Real Madrid maintained their perfect Champions League record on Wednesday, fighting back to win 3-2 away at AEK Athens in Greece.

The Spanish champions now have 12 points from four games, level with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the league phase, after another late show on the road.

It was a familiar story for Madrid, who had previously come from 3-1 down to beat Roma 4-3 in their last Champions League away outing.

Wednesday elsewhere

Porto claimed their first points of the campaign by thumping Napoli 4-1, Borussia Dortmund beat Real Betis 2-1 thanks to a winner from Greek teenager Konstantinos Karetsas, and Club Brugge won 2-1 at PSV Eindhoven through a Carlos Forbs strike. Viking Stavanger also earned a first win, coming from behind to beat Sabah 4-1.

The race at the top

With PSG and Real Madrid both perfect on 12 points, Arsenal on 10 and a chasing pack including Como, Liverpool and Manchester City on nine, the fight for the top eight places is already taking shape after four rounds.
