Arsenal beat Benfica 3–0 to move second, Chelsea beat Roma 2–0 and Bayern Munich draw 2–2 with Real Madrid. Servette beat OH Leuven 5–1 to earn their first league-phase points.
Lyonnes moved top of the 2026/27 Women’s Champions League table on goal difference with a 6–0 home win over Internazionale on 28 October. Arsenal moved second after Alessia Russo scored all three goals in a 3–0 win over Benfica at Meadow Park.
Arsenal began the match fifth, with four points from their opening two games after surrendering a two-goal lead against Paris FC. The win takes them to seven points and into the top four, the places that bring direct qualification for the quarter-finals.
Russo became the highest-scoring English player in Women’s Champions League history, Guardian Sport said. She broke the deadlock just before half-time, headed in a corner after the interval and completed her hat-trick—a three-goal performance—with a penalty.
For eight-time champions Lyonnes, Marie-Antoinette Katoto scored twice before Lily Yohannes added the third on the hour. Vicki Bècho then came off the bench and scored a hat-trick to complete the victory.

Chelsea’s Australian right-back Ellie Madison Carpenter opened the scoring, and Canadian centre-back Kadeisha Buchanan added the second. Both goals came after half-time, taking Chelsea to seven points after three matches.
Bayern recovered from two goals down, with Japanese midfielder Momoko Tanikawa scoring the equaliser after the break. Servette earned their first points after two opening defeats; it was also their first Champions League win, at the ninth attempt.
A win earns three points, a draw one and a defeat none. All 18 teams share one league table. The top four qualify directly for the quarter-finals; teams finishing fifth to 12th enter two-legged play-offs for the remaining four places. Teams finishing 13th to 18th are eliminated.
