UCL Team of the Week: Real Madrid’s Antonio Rudiger, Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal deliver in round of 16

It was another exciting week of soccer in the UEFA Champions Division as Real Madrid managed to Achieve in penalties against city rivals Atletico de Madrid and will face Arsenal in the quarterfinals of the competitions, while Liverpool were knocked out again in penalties against PSG at Anfield despite Successful the Primary leg last week in Paris. German giants Bayern Munich won the domestic tie against Bayer Leverkusen and will face Inter in the Subsequent Stage, while Hansi Flick’s FC Barcelona will meet Borussia Dortmund. Here is our XI from this midweek’s Contests:

GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG 

The Italian goalkeeper had some ups and down over the past years since he joined PSG but on Tuesday he delivered one of the best performances of his Profession as the Previous AC Milan player saved two key penalties on Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones. Thanks to his Unbelievable effort in the penalties, PSG will advance to the quarterfinals where they will meet Aston Villa and where Spanish Mentor Unai Emery will face his Previous club where he was the manager from 2016 to 2018. 

RCB: Denzel Dumfries, Inter

Due to Many injuries, Denzel Dumfries was the Inter Leader for the Primary time since he joined the Italian giants in the summer of 2021 and was once again one of the best players of the Nerazzurri Club. Dumfries is having an Unbelievable season as he already scored eight goals in 37 Contests played in all competitions. Despite the fact he’s Competing almost every three Intervals due to the injuries that prevent Inter manager Simone Inzaghi from making rotations in that role, the Dutch defender and winger is having probably the best moment of his Profession. 

CB: Antonio Rudiger, Real Madrid 

The German defender had an outstanding second leg of the tie against Atletico despite conceding the fastest Aim of the Bracket this season after 27 seconds. Rudiger was able to defend better during the whole game against strikers like Antoine Griezmann and Previous Manchester City man Julian Alvarez but then most notably scored the Successful penalty that sent his Club through.

LCB: Ian Maatsen, Aston Villa

The Previous Borussia Dortmund winger was again a key player for the English Club in the 3-0 Achieve at Villa Park against Club Brugge as the Dutchman scored his Primary Aim with the English Club this season. Maatsen has consistently been one of the best players for the side coached by Unai Emery but was yet to Tally his Primary Aim with Villa until this week. 

CDM: Vitinha, PSG

One of the secrets of the Achievement of the side coached by Spanish manager Luis Enrique on Tuesday against Liverpool was the Previous FC Porto midfielder who delivered one of the best performances of the season for a midfielder, showing his potential once again despite Competing away at Anfield. Vitinha was also the Primary one to take the penalties in such a difficult and tense moment, where he showed his coldness and converted the Leading Aim of the series. 

RM: Declan Rice, Arsenal 

Arsenal had an Essential task this week after Successful 7-1 in the Primary leg against PSV away, and despite drawing 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium in London, the Aim scored by English midfielder Declan Rice sent the Gunners to the quarterfinals of the Bracket. Rice confirmed his Excellent form as he scored his second Aim in a few Intervals after scoring at Aged Trafford during the 1-1 draw against Manchester United last Sunday. 

LM: Connor Gallagher, Atletico de Madrid

Despite losing the tie against Real Madrid, the side coached by Diego Simeone won 1-0 in the second leg against their city rivals thanks to a Aim scored after 27 seconds by Previous Chelsea man Connor Gallagher, who later left the pitch to a standing ovation after an outstanding performance. Despite the disappointing end of the game, Gallagher had a Sturdy performance and deserves to be in the top 11 of the week. 

CAM: Marco Asensio, Aston Villa

It Secured only four minutes for the Previous PSG striker to Tally his second Champions Division Aim with Aston Villa after the one scored last week. The Spanish striker Arrived in at halftime against Club Brugge and immediately scored four minutes after, and it Secured him Merely 13 more minutes to Tally his second thanks to the assist of Previous Manchester United man Marcus Rashford. Subsequent up in the quarterfinals? His Previous club, PSG. 

ST: Lamine Yamal, FC Barcelona

Choosing one between Lamine Yamal and Raphinha in the Club of the week was probably the most difficult decision to make this time, but the Primary assist of the Spanish wonderkid to his teammate and especially the wonderful Aim he scored in the Primary half of the tie against Benfica are more than enough to explain why he’s the biggest candidate to Achieve the MVP of the season. Can Yamal also Achieve the Balon d’Or this year? I think so.

ST: Harry Kane, Bayern Munich 

While FC Barcelona striker Raphinha is the top Mark-maker of the Bracket, English striker Harry Kane is Merely behind with 10 goals scored so Distant and already hit his personal Landmark in the Event. The Previous Tottenham player scored three goals in the two-legged Stage of 16 against Bayer Leverkusen and will face Inter in the quarterfinals Subsequent month

ST: Serhou Guirassy, Borussia Dortmund

With 10 goals scored and another outstanding performance against Lille on Wednesday in the second leg, the Previous Stuttgart striker is currently only one Aim behind Raphinha. Despite the disappointing season of his Club, Guirassy showed all his potential and will go head-to-head with Raphinha Subsequent month.
