the typical team of the 6th day

This 6th day of the Champions League was once again entertained with twists and turns, each crazier than the next. While some teams ensured qualification on the last day like AC Milan (4-0 vs Salzburg), others saw their dream of first place collapse. This is of course the case of PSG which, despite its victory against Juventus (2-1), finished second behind Benfica which crushed Maccabi Haifa (6-1), and which therefore passed thanks to a number of goals scored away more important than the French club (9 against 6). And in the matches without stake, Bayern dominated Inter (2-0) while Manchester City ended on a high note with their victory against Sevilla (3-1).

In the goals of our eleven type, we find the experienced Simon Mignolet. In the meeting between Club Brugge and Bayern Leverkusen, the former Liverpool goalkeeper literally disgusted the German attackers by chaining spectacular parades. If his team preserved the 0-0, it is mainly thanks to him since he made 5 saves and logically finished man of the match. At the right-back position, place for youth with the very young Rico Lewis. The 17-year-old right-back took advantage of Pep Guardiola’s turnover to play his first Champions League match with Manchester City. Result, a great activity on his right lane and a goal, that of the equalizer. He became the youngest scorer in the history of the C1 to score for his first match overtaking … Karim Benzema. The central hinge is made up of Benjamin Pavard et Antonio Silva. The Frenchman, who has been struggling for a few weeks, regained a starting position on Tuesday as a central defender. A position he masters better and which allows him to flourish on the ground. Good in duels, he also opened the scoring against Inter. With him, the young Portuguese defender of Benfica who delivered an XXL performance at the heart of the defense. Excellent in his recovery, very good in his positioning, he showed that he had everything of a great defender. Finally on the left, we find Ben Chilwell. The English international was very active on his lane during Chelsea’s victory against Zagreb, creating a lot of space and always being technically correct. Unfortunately, he left his partners in added time after an injury that could cause him to miss the World Cup…

A 100% French attack

In our midfield with three which is logically inclined towards the offensive, we find the handyman of Real Madrid: Federico Valverde. The Uruguayan midfielder has been performing monstrous performances lately and continues to be indisputable among the Merengues. In his team’s big victory against Celtic, he once again demonstrated his wide technical and tactical palette. In defense, in attack, on the corridors, in short Valverde made Valverde and scored again with a big strike of which he now has the secret. Speaking of big hits, john mario is also part of our eleven type. The Portuguese midfielder, precious with Benfica against Haifa, sent his team to the top of Group H with a sublime strike in the last seconds of the match. Finally, to support these two players, it is Dusan Tadic that we have chosen. The Serbian midfielder was decisive in their victory against Rangers. A decisive passer, he was above all a real poison for the opposing defense by being in all the right moves and technically wandering throughout the match.

In front, it is a 100% French attack which is present in our standard team. In support of the attackers, we find Christopher Nkunku. The Leipzig player confirms his very good last season by continuing his momentum. Still a scorer on Wednesday, he also delivered an assist and participated in his team’s 4th goal. Another full game. The same can be said of the inexhaustible Olivier Giroud. His team absolutely had to win to qualify in 8th, and they were obviously able to count on the Frenchman to respond. Author of a double, he also offered a goal to Krunic and confirmed that he was a player definitely apart. And to accompany him in this attack: Kylian Mbappe. The Bondynois single-handedly saved PSG against Juventus. Man of the match, he distinguished himself with a precise assist for Nuno Mendes but above all with his magnificent goal where he alone humiliated the Italian defense before deceiving Wojciech Szczęsny with a beautiful strike. But in our eleven, we could also have mentioned Choupo-Moting scorer against Inter and very good with Bayern, Mahdi Taremi still decisive with Porto or even Mohamed Listen decisive passer with Leipzig and Alexander Bahwhich offered two goals to Benfica.
