Technical Observer Group UEFA determined the symbolic team of the week (2nd round) Champions League 2024/25.
Post No. 1 went to Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who became one of the main heroes of the confrontation with Bayern (1:0). Let us remind you that two of the Argentinean’s saves from this match were included in the top 5 saves on Wednesday, along with the successful action of the Ukrainian Andrei Lunin in the match with Lille (0:1).
Also in the team of the week is Atalanta wingback Davide Zappacosta, who played a strong away match against Shakhtar (3:0), in particular, assisting Raul Bellanova for the third goal.
Of course, there was a place in the top 11 for the best player of the second round, Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund. His competitors for this title, Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus) and Abdalla Sima (Brest), took two positions in attack.
The complete tour team looks like this:
Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa) – Thiago Santos (Lille), Ryan Flamingo (PSV), Mohamed Salisu (Monaco), Davide Zappacosta (Atalanta) – Florentino (Benfica), Quinter Timber (Feyenoord) – Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund), Rafinha (Barcelona), Abdalla Sima (Brest) – Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus).
Let us remind you that in the symbolic team of the first round there was a place for Shakhtar’s representative – Ukrainian defender Nikolai Matvienko.
The matches of the third round of the Champions League will take place on October 22-23. Shakhtar will face Arsenal away on Tuesday.
