Team of the Champions League round of 16 stage

Yesterday the last clubs that reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League were revealed. "Liverpool", "Roma", "Sevilla", Madrid's "Real", "Man City", Turin's "Juventus" were joined by "Barcelona" and Munich's "Bayern". The portal "Goal" has compiled a symbolic eleven of the quarter-final stage. Goalkeeper - Loris Karius ("Liverpool") Karius, who has received quite a bit of criticism in the past, demonstrates a better game. The goalkeeper's improvement is evidenced by the fact that he was the only one in the quarter-final stage who did not concede a single goal. Defender - Rafinha ("Bayern") In the 8:1 victory over "Besiktas", the player also stood out with a lofted pass, after which the Turkish team's representative Gokhan Gonul directed the ball into his own net. Defender - Dejan Lovren ("Liverpool") Of course, the "Porto" team is not of the highest caliber, but the player reliably cemented the "Reds" defense and contributed to the overall 5:0 result. Defender - Giorgio Chiellini ("Juventus") The 33-year-old Italian became one of the heroes of the team when "Juventus" managed to beat the threatening "Tottenham" away. Defender - Aleksandar Kolarov ("Roma") The Serb stood out for making the most passes in the opponent's half in the second match against "Shakhtar" and solidly defended against their attacks. Midfielder - Casemiro ("Real") The Brazilian, who has entered among the elite world footballers, silenced the "Parc des Princes" stadium by scoring a decisive goal in the 80th minute. Midfielder - Steven N'Zonzi ("Sevilla") He dominated the midfield against "Man Utd" and did not forget to defend solidly. Midfielder - Thomas Muller ("Bayern") He was the first to break the "Besiktas" defense in Bayern's ranks. In the 8:1 victory series, the world champion scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists. Forward - Lionel Messi ("Barcelona") In the second match against "Chelsea", Messi scored the fastest goal of his career (2 minutes 8 seconds). Punishing the "Premier" league representatives for the first time in London, he did not stop and continued in the return leg at the "Camp Nou" arena. Forward - Wissam Ben Yedder ("Sevilla") The player took advantage of the opportunities in the match in England. Running into the box in the second half, the sniper scored 2 goals in 4 minutes and paved the way for the team to the next stage. Forward - Gonzalo Higuain ("Juventus") The experienced Argentinean made an impact at the start of the match in Turin by scoring two quick goals. "Juventus" had to fight at the "Wembley" stadium, and Higuain again kept his word, scoring one of the two Italian goals.
