Inter and Atalanta are the only teams of the 36 yet to concede a single goal in the new format of the Champions League after Matchday 4, while Liverpool are the only club with a perfect record.

The results are in from the fourth round of the Champions League and the table is beginning to take shape halfway through the run of eight games.

There is a very particular record for the Italian sides, because only Inter and Atalanta have managed to keep a clean sheet in all four matches, this evening the Nerazzurri beating Arsenal 1-0 and La Dea conquering VfB 2-0 in Stuttgart.

As for the points, Liverpool are the only team to have a perfect record of four victories and sit at the top of the table on 12 points.

Midway through the group stage, Inter are in the huddle of four teams in second place behind Liverpool on 10 points, along with Sporting CP, AS Monaco and Brest.

Atalanta are just out of the automatic promotion places on eight points, ahead of Manchester City, Juventus, Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen, LOSC, Celtic and GNK Dinamo on seven.

Milan are on six points along with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, amongst others.

The big shock is that as things stand, Paris Saint-Germain are in 25th place, where they would be eliminated from Europe altogether.

Gianluigi Donnarumma’s side were beaten by Atletico Madrid this evening, so have one win, one draw and two losses.

Bologna are in 31st place with one point from four games and are the only side who failed to score a single goal.
