Goalkeeper

One shot faced, zero goals conceded. Going in goal as an outfield player takes guts and it’s not as easy as it looks – just ask Harry Kane.


Defence

Achraf Hakimi (Borussia Dortmund)

How could he not be here? Two goals in a sensational second half saw Hakimi inspire Dortmund to a famous comeback against Inter. He was so good that Antonio Conte subbed left-back Cristiano Biraghi.

Solid in midfield and kept his cool to strike twice from the penalty spot and turn the game around.

Tomas Souček (Slavia Prague)

Anchoring the away team’s midfield at Camp Nou is a daunting prospect but Souček performed superbly. Positionally disciplined, he plugged the gaps and moved the ball calmly in a famous draw for the visitors.

Julian Brandt (Borussia Dortmund)

Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)

Rodrygo is the new kid on the block but Benzema is the brilliant seasoned veteran. Perhaps the ultimate number nine, he continued his fine season with two goals and an assist.

Son Heung-min (Tottenham)

Red Star Belgrade have a formidable home record, making Son’s two-goal haul in a dominant win all the more impressive.
