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

It is time to select our Team of the Weekend across Europe’s top five leagues, lining out in a 4-3-3 system.

GK: Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia)

An all-round exceptional showing from the Georgian number one in which he kept a clean sheet in Valencia’s 1-0 win over Athletic Club but the above save to deny Unai Gómez was as good as was witnessed anywhere over the weekend.

RB: Mitchell Weiser (Werder Bremen)

The 29-year-old has been Bremen’s star man this season and although he operates in more of a wing-back role, he simply had to be included after a solid defensive showing was capped off by a thumping winner away to Bayern Munich – Werder’s first in 14 years.

CB: Bremer (Juventus)

Lecce’s Nikola Krstović is one of the biggest handfuls in Serie A for defenders but Bremer dealt with him impeccably, putting in a man-marking performance so diligent that he likely pursued him onto the team bus long after the whistle had blown on Juve’s 3-0 win. He also put the bow on things with the late third.

CB: Gabriel (Arsenal)

Centre-backs can’t have too many better days at the office than Gabriel enjoyed in Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Crystal Palace. He scored one but really should have had a second only to be denied by the goals panel and contributed at the back to the Gunners’ clean sheet.

LB: Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen)

Like Weiser on the right, this is another outstanding Bundesliga wing-back who makes our team a little further back as he gave no other option but to be included. In another dramatic Leverkusen victory,

CM: Nicolò Barella (Inter)

The way that he finds space and picks out team-mates with passes or gets his own troublesome shots off is as good as any attack-minded midfielder in the world today and he displayed those qualities again in Inter’s 3-0 Supercoppa win over Lazio. Unfortunate not to cap his display with a goal – that crossbar is still shuddering.

CM: Szymon Żurkowski (Empoli)

Empoli’s 3-0 win over Monza quite simply belonged to one man only as the 26-year-old left with the match ball by grabbing all the goals. He became the first Polish player ever to score a Serie A hat-trick in doing so and is also the first Empoli man to net one since Nicola Pozzi in 2007.

CM: Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool)

The Argentine is beginning to look ever more settled in Jürgen Klopp’s midfield. In difficult conditions at Bournemouth, he dictated so much control on the contest that it was made to look effortless. His intelligence and use of the ball was second to none.

RW: Diogo Jota (Liverpool)

He may have played through the centre in Liverpool’s 4-0 victory but there was no way of leaving him out here so in he goes on the right. He scored twice and assisted another and put in a performance so ruthless that club legend hailed him as ‘the best pure finisher’ for the Reds in the Premier League era.

ST: Artem Dovbyk (Girona)

Dušan Vlahović’s performance for Juventus in their win at Lecce is worthy of a mention but how could he hope to eclipse the Ukrainian who scored a six-minute hat-trick (the third fastest in division history) as LaLiga’s shock title hopefuls hit Sevilla for five. No player in the league has more than his 14 goals this season.

LW: Ferran Torres (Barcelona)

Kylian Mbappé may have scored twice and assisted two more for PSG but doing so against weaker, third tier opposition means Torres gets the nod for his sensational performance at Real Betis, who he put to the sword in spectacular style. Torres claimed a hat-trick and even provided the assist for Barça’s other goal in their 4-2 victory, becoming just the second LaLiga player this season to directly contribute to four goals in a game (after Rodrygo).
