UEFA's official website has announced the team of the week following the 8th round of the UEFA Champions League. Notably, only two players from one club - Lisbon's Benfica - were included in this squad. This once again shows how strongly the Portuguese made an impression in this round.
According to UEFA selection, the 8th round symbolic team was formed as follows:
Goalkeeper
- Anatoly Trubin (Benfica)
The Ukrainian goalkeeper not only saved his team in several episodes but also contributed to one of the most discussed moments of the tour. In this respect, he fully justified his place in the symbolic team.
Defenders
- Federico Dimarco (Inter Milan)
- Dan Bern (Newcastle)
- Christian Romero (Tottenham Hotspur)
- Bruno Souza Silva (Pafos)
Throughout the round, players who demonstrated reliable play, fighting spirit, and determination, especially in defense, gathered in one place. Another interesting aspect of the tour is that along with famous clubs, a representative of "Pafos" has also appeared in this lineup.
Midfielders
- Andreas Schelderup (Benfica)
- Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool)
- Malik Tillman (Bayern Munich)
- Lamin Yamal (Barcelona)
Those who worked as "motors" in the center are here: one led his team, another maintained the game tempo, and yet another, despite his age, managed to act like a great player on the big stage.
Attackers
- Kasper Hög (Budø-Glimt)
- Joao Pedro (Chelsea)
On the offensive line, players who effectively used their capabilities and were able to speak their minds in decisive situations were selected.
In short, the composition of the 8th round symbolic team clearly shows who performed on stage this week in the UCL and gave fans a "wow-effekt." Now there's only one intrigue: who will manage to maintain this form in the playoffs?
