We have selected the UEFA Champions League team of the week after two nights entertainment on the largest stage in European football.
There is no representation of Chelsea, Liverpool or Spurs after disappointing versions, while there is one very large omission from our front line.
Champions League Team of the Week
GK: Ugurcan Cakir – Galatasaray
Four crucial rescues of Ugurcan Cakir helped Galatasaray on Tuesday to achieve a famous victory over Liverpool in Istanbul. He denied some of the most expensive players in football to keep a clean magazine, the first of the Turkish club in 24 games in the European competition.
RB: Achraf Hakimi-Paris Saint-Germain
It seemed that it would be a tough evening for the PSG defense when Barcelona opened them in the first half of the collision on Wednesday evening. Marcus Rashford found space on the side of Achraf Hakimi to play in the ball for Ferran Torres to open the score.
Even with important players who were missing, the men of Luis Enrique recovered well and the Moroccan international played a key role in their comeback victory. The game seemed to be on the way to a draw after the equalizer of Senny Mayulu, until Hakimi Goncalo Ramos set up for a last-minute winner with a perfect pass.
CB: Dean Hujsen – Real Madrid
Kairat Almaty was probably one of the weakest teams with which Real Madrid will ever be confronted, although memories of their shock worry against FC Sheriff TiraSpol were probably in mind on Tuesday.
Xabi Alonso released a strong line-up and was rewarded with a comfortable 5-0 win. Dean Huijsen was one of their most impressive artists, won 100 percent of his tackles (4) and successfully completed all dribbles (4/4).
The Spain Center-Back also won 13 matches, more than any other player in the game, while also made six recovery, four approvals and three intercepts. What a workhorse!
CB: Alessandro Bastoni – Inter Milan
Inter Milan made light work by Slavia Prague when they scored three goals in the San Siro within 65 minutes, allowing manager Christian Chivu to immerse his most important players.
A man who played the full 90 was Alessandro Bastoni, who played an important role in his side that held a clean sheet and helped with attack. He created two big chances, one of which ended in a goal, and had a big chance with a header that he sent over the bar.
The Italian broke in with seven recovery, four clearance and a interception, while he was also the most polluted player on the field and won four free kicks in front of his side.
LB: Raphael Guerrero – Bayern Munich
No player created more opportunities (5) in the 5-1 victory of Bayern Munich over Pafos FC on Tuesday than Raphael Guerrero, with two of those as great opportunities. He did not get an assist but scored their second of the night on a fantastic night for the 31-year-old.
Cent: A Cale Brud Cuehi – Hoo is – 2 honey.
Kevin De Bruyne shook the disappointment of his replacement during the defeat of the weekend against AC Milan to inspire Napoli to win over Sporting CP on Wednesday evening.
The former playmaker of Manchester City connected beautifully with former Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund for both goals in their 2-1 win. De Bruyne flowed past a number of opponents before giving a perfect ball for the opener of his teammate and then delivered a nice cross for him to go home.

CM: Mario Pasalic – Atalyta
Mario Pasalic may have had the least accents (53) in the match between Atalanta and Club Brugge, but he had the biggest impact on the game.
The former midfielder of Chelsea won the penalty that led to the equalizer and scored the winner to complete a Come-From-Behind 2-1 and exactly a degree of revenge on the side that hit them out of the knockout phase last season.
RW: Michael Olise – Bayern Munich
Yes, Pafos FC is one of the weakest teams in the Champions League this season, but you can’t ignore the splendor of Michael Olise. He helps two of Bayern’s goals before scored a fantastic thing about his own when Bayern Munich destroyed the Cypriot outfit 5-1 removed.
LW: Jens Petter Hauge – Bodo/Glimt
Igor Paixao simply misses selection, even though he is involved in three Van Marseille’s four goals against Ajax, a goal and a bracket of assists in their 4-0 win.
Jens Petter Hauge has wrapped him after scoring both goals from Bodo/Glimt against Spurs, the second of which he fooled the defense before he ended up with style. He also created five chances in the night, more than the entire Tottenham -Line -up combined.
CF: Julian Alvarez – Atletico Madrid
There were so many excellent versions this week that it was almost impossible to choose only two. Kylian Mbappe misses despite his hat trick, given the level of opposition that Kairat has provided Almaty. Lautaro Martinez, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Harry Kane were also excellent, but we went for Julian Alvarez instead.
Atletico Madrid hit Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 and the Argentina International was involved with three of them, and gave two assists and scored a penalty. This season, the 25-year-old is in flying with seven goals and three assists in eight performances in all competitions.
CF: Erling Haaland – Man City
Erling Haaland scored a brace against Monaco to increase his Champions League count to 52 goals in 50 performances, a record in the competition. The Manchester City striker showed incredible athletics for his first before he brought his second away with a brilliant header.
In his next half century 🔥
Erling Haaland scores Champions League goals for fun 💫
