We were treated to a weekend of star performances but who impressed most across the continent to make our team of the weekend?


GK: Paulo Gazzaniga (Girona)

Girona may be LaLiga’s new entertainers but the 1-0 win over Las Palmas was much about the five saves from Gazzaniga to collect a clean sheet then it was about the magic down the other end.

RB: Jules Koundé (Barcelona)

Barcelona survived an onslaught from Osasuna to take a precious victory on Sunday and Koundé was key to that, completing eight clearances, winning 100% of his ground duels, three out of five of his aerial duels and even popping up down the other end with a goal.

CB: Mohamed Simakan (RB Leipzig)

How do France keep producing top-of-the-range centre-backs? Simakan will be the next one off that conveyor belt and he put in a stunning performance this weekend, winning all 11 of his duels as Leipzig ran riot in Berlin.

CB: Jean-Clair Todibo (Nice)

Speaking of French centre-backs, Todibo was the star man as Nice got off the mark for the season with a 2-0 victory over Strasbourg.

The 23-year-old was a commanding presence at the back and even got involved at the other end, setting up Terem Moffi’s goal. Nice will be thanking their lucky stars that he didn’t leave during the transfer window.

LB: Maximilian Wöber (Borussia Mönchengladbach)

He may have been on the losing side but Gladbach new boy Wöber impressed against Bayern, setting up Ko Ikatura’s opener and winning his battles at the back, completing five interceptions and mustering up three clearances.


CM: Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig)

The Dutch midfielder appears here for the second week in a row and rightly so. He was unplayable as RB Leipzig pulled off a resounding win at Union Berlin, scoring the pivotal second-half opener before laying on an assist for Benjamin Šeško.

CM: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)

The fairytale start continues. Real were set to drop points against Getafe before Bellingham stepped up to the plate and scored a 95th-minute winner in his first appearance at the Santiago Bernabéu. The stuff of dreams.

CAM: Domenico Berardi (Sassuolo)

One of Serie A’s little quirks in Berardi remaining loyal to Sassuolo, and he pulled off a match-winning display to earn his team their first win of the season, scoring twice in the 3-1 victory over Hellas Verona.

CAM: Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)

Who needs Harry Kane? Ange Postecogolu opted to start Son in the central striker role against Burnley and the Spurs captain repaid that faith with a hat-trick in a 5-2 win .

The 31-year-old now has more Premier League goals than Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo and he started it all with the faintest of faint chips.


ST: Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen)

An outright no.9 dominating the Bundesliga for a title challenger? But we’re not talking about Harry Kane. Boniface has taken to life in Germany like a duck to water, bagging a brace in the 5-1 win over Darmstadt, taking his tally up to four for the season.

ST: Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Another Premier League hat-trick hero is it?

Not many will be able to begrudge the Norwegian of his place in this team and it probably won’t be the last time he features in it either.
