the typical team of the 6th day

And 6. There are only two days left in the Champions League and the suspense is at its height. But before looking ahead to the rest of the competition in January, let’s take a look at those who shone during the 6th day. A 6th day which did not produce any footballing masterpieces, let’s be frank. That said, some stood out.

And obviously, we think of certain Brestois, authors of another heroic match against PSV Eindhoven. And it was the defense that stood out on Tuesday evening, with a grandiose Marco Bizot in the cages, and an impenetrable Brendan Chardonnet in defense. The Ty Zefs captain delivered his best match in the Champions League. To support him in defense, we install Federico Gatti, the solid fellow from Juventus who confronted Haaland, and who was decisive on Vlahovic’s goal.

Beautiful people

On the sides, even though the opponent was of a very mediocre level, we propose to put Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes. The two full-backs were untenable against Salzburg, the second even scoring the second goal. If UEFA named Barcola man of the match, it was Hakimi who reigned over this meeting. In the middle we install a Kimmich-Rieder pair. Yes, Rieder, the former Stade Rennais, who dropped 3 assists on Wednesday evening against Young Boys Bern.

Offensively, many midfielders shone, and we chose to highlight Bukayo Saka, author of a double with Arsenal against Monaco and Raphinha, author of a goal against Borussia Dortmund with FC Barcelona. To accompany them, who other than Jude Bellingham, amazing again with Real Madrid against Atalanta. And to conclude, it is Antoine Griezmann, author of a double against Slovan Bratislava, who leads the attack.
