It is time once again to select our Team of the Weekend across Europe's top five leagues, lining up this week in an unorthodox 3-4-3 system.
The FA Cup Team of the Weekend can be found here.
A week on from a crazy match with Verona, which ultimately saw their coach Roberto D'Aversa sacked after marching onto the pitch and headbutting an opposing player, Lecce managed to grind out a 1-0 victory away at Salernitana in Serie A. Their goalkeeper was the star of the show with a string of fine saves to preserve his clean sheet.
The surprise of the weekend in the Premier League saw Fulham comprehensively beating Tottenham 3-0. United States international Robinson had a great game for the Cottagers, notching an assist and defending his left flank impeccably.
Mallorca were good value for their 1-0 LaLiga victory over Granada on Saturday with a dominant performance, but they needed their captain to come to the rescue with a brilliant bullet header to win the match in the 85th minute - his third goal of the season.
Another defender getting on the scoresheet in LaLiga this weekend was Lejeune, who found the net with a superb free-kick as Rayo Vallecano beat Real Betis 2-0.
Roma continued their push for Champions League football under Daniele De Rossi with a 1-0 win over Sassuolo, and it was a captain's contribution that delivered the three points, with Pellegrini finding the bottom corner with a beautiful long-range effort.
After three straight draws in Ligue 1, PSG got back to winning ways as they put Montpellier to the sword 6-2 on Sunday night. Vitinha had a superb game, scoring an excellent goal to open the scoring and notching two assists to go with it.
Elsewhere in Ligue 1 this weekend, bottom club Clermont got their first win in eight matches, and they had Austrian midfielder Cham to thank for his brace in their 2-1 win over Le Havre.
With eight goals scored in their last two matches, Real Madrid are looking like a special team, and Fede Valverde is undoubtedly a special player. He racked up three assists in Saturday's 4-2 win at Osasuna, taking his tally to nine goal involvements this season.
Harry Kane may have stolen the headlines with his record-breaking goal in Bayern's 5-2 win over Darmstadt on Saturday, but Musiala was the star of the show, registering two goals and an assist in an electric display.
Barcelona are a team in form at the moment, and on Sunday evening we saw a vintage display from their number nine in an impressive 3-0 win at Atlético de Madrid. Lewandowski scored one goal and got two assists, and was at his unplayable best in the Spanish capital.
If you haven't seen it already, be sure to check out Mbappé's hat-trick against Montpellier in the video above. His second goal was a stunner, and his first and third weren't bad either. Extraordinary player.
