Goalkeeper

Guglielmo Vicario (8.5) - Tottenham Hotspur

The Spurs goalkeeper was key in keeping a clean sheet in their 0-0 draw away to Monaco. The Londoners were able to take a point and remain unbeaten in the Champions League.

Defenders

Denzel Dumfries (8.8) - Inter

The Dutchman is known for his attacking prowess and was no less impressive in the match against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise (0-4), where he scored one of the goals.

Gabriel Magalhaes (8.9) - Arsenal

The Brazilian defender proved once again that he is one of Europe's leading centre-backs. His strike opened the scoring and the floodgates to a 4-0 thrashing of Atletico.

Nuno Mendes (8.8) - PSG

The Portuguese defender had a hand in two of his side's goals, including an assist. The reigning European champions overwhelmed Bayer Leverkusen 7-2 in Germany.

Midfielders

Enzo Fernandez (9.8) - Chelsea

The Argentinian is the Player of the Week, just a couple of tenths of a point shy of a perfect score after an imperious showing against Ajax.

Hakan Calhanoglu (9.7) - Inter

The midfielder got the second-highest rating, also very close to perfection, despite scoring 'only' one goal in the Italians' victory on Belgian soil.

Fermin Lopez (9.3) - Barcelona

The player from Huelva proved once again that he should be a starter in the Barcelona team, and his hat-trick against Olympiacos (6-1) makes him one of Barça's biggest threats ahead of the Clásico.

Dominik Szoboszlai (9.3) - Liverpool

The Hungarian linked up with Ibrahima Konate for the Reds' third goal and completed the rout in the second half to seal a 5-1 win away to Eintracht.

Strikers

Harvey Barnes (9.3) - Newcastle

Barnes made a telling impact off the bench, with the former Leicester City man scoring an extraordinary brace to extinguish any Benfica hopes.

Lautaro Martinez (9.2) - Inter Milan

Another Argentinian to make it into our side and, in the same vein as his compatriot, he needed less than an hour to stand out, scoring in Inter's win over Royale Union SG.
