The group stage of the Champions League is over. Which football players, as usual, delighted with confident play, and which became the discoveries of the strongest club tournament? Goal.com portal compiled the best eleven. Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon (Turin's Juventus). The tireless veteran shone in important matches, especially against the "Man City" club. Everything is illustrated by only 3 goals conceded in 6 matches. Defender Diego Godin (Madrid's Atletico). Diego Simeone's team bases their path to victory on solid defense, and Godin is its most important part. Defender Thiago Silva (PSG). PSG conceded only one goal in 6 matches - this proves that the Brazilian is rightfully considered one of the best defenders in the world. Defender Yevhen Khacheridi (Kiev's Dynamo). The Ukrainian club presented a surprise and made it to the knockout stages, with Khacheridi being a key driver of their secure defense. Midfielder Willian (London's Chelsea). In the Premier League - terrible play, but in Europe, a completely different face of the "Blues" team is demonstrated. The Brazilian scored goals in five matches, including the decisive one against the Kiev team. Midfielder Sergio Busquets (Barcelona). Busquets, reigning in the midfield, contributed to Barcelona's solid performance - so far, no losses. Midfielder Sven Kums (Gent). A little-known player was able to shine and help the club advance sensationally, with the captain's goal against Valencia contributing significantly. Midfielder Andres Guardado (PSV). The Mexican player played reliably throughout the stage and contributed significantly to the failure of the Man Utd club. Forward Hulk (St. Petersburg's Zenit). The Brazilian, controversially evaluated, immediately silenced all critics. This is reflected in 3 goals and 4 assists. Forward Robert Lewandowski (Munich's Bayern). Currently the best striker of the tournament - 7 goals and the Bayern cannon, demolishing opponents. Forward Cristiano Ronaldo (Madrid's Real). He played in a weak group and had fun against the Malmo team, but the record - 11 goals in the group stage - will probably remain unbeaten for a long time.
