🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇪🇸🇮🇹🇩🇪🇫🇷 OneFootball’s European Team of the Weekend | OneFootball

Who impressed most last weekend across Europe’s top five leagues to make our best XI?

In a 4-3-3 formation, this is who makes the cut…

GK: Pietro Terracciano (Fiorentina)

Fiorentina overcoming Verona 1-0 on Sunday was largely down to their goalkeeper’s heroics. The visitors had a 2.90 xG but Terracciano pulled off several huge stops, including a penalty save (and the follow-up) to keep a very hard-earned clean sheet.

RB: Aitor Ruibal (Real Betis)

The defender has been in fine form over the past month and continued that over the weekend by turning in an exceptional defensive showing as his side escaped San Sebastian with a point from a scoreless stalemate with Real Sociedad.

CB: Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich)

He followed up an exceptional defensive showing at Old Trafford last week with another as he helped Bayern to consecutive clean sheets in the 3-0 win over Stuttgart and not content there, he also chipped in with the third of the game in addition to an imperious performance at the back.

CB: Raphaël Varane (Manchester United)

The Frenchman has had a difficult season, frozen out by Erik ten Hag for much of the campaign but thrust back into action recently, he showed his quality at Anfield by nullifying Liverpool’s attack in assured fashion. Even when forced towards his own goal with balls over the top, Varane excelled in dealing with the danger.

LB: Dan Burn (Newcastle)

For those concerned that Newcastle’s local hero would be in danger of losing his place given how Tino Livramento performed while he was injured, Burn put in a performance against Fulham that showed he has no intention of giving up that starting jersey, scoring the third goal in a Man of the Match display.

CM: Rocco Reitz (Gladbach)

The 21-year-old’s rise to prominence in recent weeks has been as exciting as it has been unexpected, culminating in a superb performance last time out as he netted twice in a 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen. He’s had to wait patiently for his chance but Reitz is making the most of it.

CM: Luka Modrić (Real Madrid)

During Los Blancos’ 4-1 win over Villarreal, a game sadly marred by serious injuries on both sides, the majestic Croatian put in arguably his best showing of the season so far. A delightful cross for Jude Bellingham’s opener and well-taken sweeping finish of his own saw Modrić become the oldest player to score and assist in the same game in Europe’s top five leagues this season at 38 years and 99 days.

CM: Téji Savanier (Montpellier)

What a season the Montpellier man is having. Per WhoScored data, only one man in Europe’s top five leagues has successfully completed more key passes than him this season and it was yet another of those that provided the assist for the only goal of the game to cap off another star showing against Metz on Sunday.

RW: Mohammed Kudus (West Ham)

What an astute piece of business the Ghanaian is proving to be. During his side’s 3-0 win over Wolves, he scored two fantastic goals to complete counter-attacks, first driving home with his left foot from outside the area before finishing coolly into the far corner with his right shortly afterwards.

ST: Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Is there any stopping the England forward? Stuttgart have been a tough nut to crack this season but not for Kane, who netted after just two minutes and then grabbed another to take his league tally for the season to 20. It has taken him just 14 matches to do so – smashing the previous record by six games!

LW: Lucas Paquetá (West Ham)

Kudus may have gotten the goals for West Ham but they wouldn’t have been possible without the brilliance of the Brazilian. He provided a hat-trick of passes for each of his side’s goals to become the first Hammer in six years to achieve that feat and his flicks and tricks throughout the closing stages were a breath of fresh air.
