UEFA Champions League second round group stage reached the final straight. A total of 16 matches of groups A-H were played this week. Football fans saw a lot of goals this week - 48 in total. The most visited football news portal in the country, "Eurofootball.com", presents the best eleven of the week's players. In the goalkeeper position - Paris "Saint-Germain" goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. The Frenchman did not concede a single goal against Munich's "Bayern", repelled seven attempts by opponents to score in his goal, and deservedly was the best goalkeeper in the Champions League tournament this week. In the full-back position - Dani Alves (PSG) and Michael Lang ("Basel"). Both players scored a goal each. Both players' teams achieved stunning victories and did not concede a single goal, so both of them successfully played both in defense and in creating attacking chances for their team. The center-back duo consists of Thiago Silva (PSG) and Sergio Ramos (Madrid's "Real"). T. Silva played confidently against "Bayern" - he did everything he could in front of his goal, while S. Ramos helped the "Real" team achieve their first victory in Dortmund in history with his reliable play. In the defensive midfielder position - Kevin De Bruyne ("Man City"), who played fantastic games against Donetsk's "Shakhtar". The Belgian scored one of the two goals, made many dangerous passes to his teammates, and was one of the most prominent figures in midfield. Supporting him in the defensive midfield line are Philippe Coutinho ("Liverpool") and Henrikh Mkhitaryan ("Man Utd"). The latter scored a goal against Moscow's CSKA and made a productive pass. The Armenian was the main creative force for the "Red Devils", and P. Coutinho shone against "Spartak", although "Liverpool" failed to secure a win. The attacking trio consists of Neymar (PSG), Harry Kane ("Tottenham"), and Cristiano Ronaldo ("Real"). PSG's biggest star in the match against "Bayern" was Neymar, who contributed to the victory with an assist and a goal. The Brazilian troubled the Bavarian defense with his sharp breakthroughs throughout the game. H. Kane shone with a hat-trick against Nicosia's APOEL on Tuesday. It was the first hat-trick in the Champions League for the "Tottenham" leader, and all three English goals were scored against the team from Cyprus. The best player in the world, C. Ronaldo, reminded everyone of himself in the Champions League after a not very confident start to the season in Spain - he scored two goals against Dortmund's "Borussia" and secured a 3-1 victory. The Portuguese did not shine in the first half but completely dominated in the opponent's penalty area in the following 45 minutes. Best Champions League team of the week: Alphonse Areola Dani Alves - Thiago Silva - Sergio Ramos - Michael Lang Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Kevin De Bruyne - Philippe Coutinho Cristiano Ronaldo - Harry Kane - Neymar
