In England, Manchester City also preserved their perfect record. The Citizens beat Liverpool 3-0 on Sunday, October 11, in the sixth round of the Premier League.

After a closely contested first half, Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the 65th minute. Jérémy Doku quickly doubled the lead three minutes later, before Rayan Cherki sealed the victory in the 78th minute. Ryan Gravenberch's sending-off in the 62nd minute made the Reds' task more difficult.

These records concern only domestic competitions. They do not mean that the three teams have won all of their matches in every competition they have played since the start of the season.

At this stage of the 2026-2027 season, Porto, Barcelona and Manchester City stand out for their consistency in the league. Their ability to maintain this run will be decisive in the title race as the season progresses.
