- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Real Madrid defeated Inter Milan 2-1 on Tuesday night at the Santiago Bernabeu in the opening match of the Champions League league phase. Kylian Mbappe scored in the 14th minute after a defensive error by Curtis Jones and Yann Bisseck. Federico Valverde doubled the lead in the 23rd minute by taking advantage of a mistake by Inter goalkeeper Josep Martinez, who attempted a dribble. Carlos Augusto scored for Inter in the 77th minute to reduce the deficit, but Real Madrid held on for the victory. Thibaut Courtois made several key saves, including a late stop from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, to preserve the win.

Other results included AEK 1-0 Lask, Brugge 2-3 Aston Villa, Lille 2-3 Betis, and Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Villarreal.
