Shocks, spectacle, a rain of goals, there is nothing to say, it is the big Champions League that made its return this week. The first day of the league phase, spread over three evenings (and out of 2 for the next ones except for the last day), delivered its lessons, between a reigning European champion, cadors announced to the meeting (Liverpool, Barcelona, Man City, Arsenal) and the first disappointments (Galatasaray, Monaco, Benfica). The editorial staff foot transfer window built its best eleven based on the individual performances of all the players on the meadow. And to start, who other than the Marseille porter Geronimo Rulli, author of an XXL performance on the lawn of Real Madrid. He maintained OM alive throughout the game and only lost on two penalties.
The choice of defense was made easy thanks to high -flying performance. Virgil Van Dijk thus disgusted Atlético de Madrid, with a head of the head in stoppages and of course an always impressive solidity in duels. Marquinhos guided him Paris Saint-Germain towards the victory with the first goal against Atalanta, a penalty obtained and remarkable technical cleanliness. Two captains at the top of their form. On the right side, how not to align Marcos Llorente, author of a magnificent double against Liverpool, who will unfortunately not have been enough. On the other wing, it is also impossible to ignore Nuno Mendes, carried by legs of fire and a goal full of daring against Atalanta.
From competition to attack
In the middle, the task turned out to be more difficult, but we were convinced by two players from the Bruges club, who almost smothered the Monegasques on their own. Raphael Onyedika, in a role of defensive midfielder, and the eternal Hans Vanaken shone and scattered their opponents. A goal for the first named, a goal (splendid elsewhere) and a assist for the second. To accompany them, we chose Fabian Ruiz, just as brilliant with PSG, with superb inspirations and an assist on the clock.
Finally, in front, the competition was tough. Special mention for olise, stunning with Bayern, Salah, scorer with Liverpool, Yildiz and Vlahovic, at the origin of the ascent of Juve against Borussia Dortmund, but we elected a Trio Rashford-Thuram-Kvaratskhelia. The first marked the spirits with a fabulous double against Newcastle. An act of rebirth for the English international with FC Barcelona. Marcus Thuram worn Inter Milan on his shoulders, with a perfect double on the lawn of Ajax Amsterdam. Finally, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia delighted the Parc des Princes, with a splendid goal and a few high -class gestures.
