On Wednesday, the last group stage matches of the UEFA Champions League were played, after which all participants of the quarterfinals were determined.
Eurofootball.com presents the best lineup of the group stage footballers and the most beautiful goal.
In the goalkeeper position, Iker Casillas unequivocally stood out, who, after a very unsuccessful previous season, confidently played for Madrid's "Real" and overall conceded only five goals in his own net.
The defenders' trio consists of three footballers. These are Miranda, who reliably played for Madrid's "Atletico", the German Per Mertesacker from London's "Arsenal", and the newcomer Marquinhos from PSG.
The best group stage midfielders were Mohamed Salah ("Basel"), Philipp Lahm ("Bayern"), Aaron Ramsey ("Arsenal"), and Arjen Robben ("Bayern").
Meanwhile, three players remained in the forward position who are currently productive in this tournament. The best striker was Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a whopping nine goals, followed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic (PSG) and Wayne Rooney ("Man Utd").

The most beautiful goal of the group stage: Douglas Costa's goal for Donetsk's "Shakhtar" against San Sebastian's "Real Sociedad."
