The Portuguese international scored the winning goal for PSG against Girona in the 90th minute
UEFA released the best team of this first week of the new Champions League format , this Friday, and the highlight was the presence of a Portuguese, Nuno Mendes , who gave PSG their first three points of the competition .
The Portuguese international was a starter, like Vitinha , and scored the winning goal for the Parisians against Girona last Wednesday, in the 90th minute. However, the ball only went in because of Gazzaniga ‘s huge mistake .
Thibaut Courtois was named in goal despite conceding a goal in Real Madrid ‘s 3-1 win over Stuttgart at the Bernabéu, with Lala , Panák and Matviyenko making up the defence. The Frenchman from Brest started the club’s first ever Ligue 1 win in the competition , while the Czech captained Sparta Prague to their first league triumph in over 20 years, assisting the second goal. The Ukrainian was also in Shakhtar ‘s starting XI in the 0-0 draw in Bologna .
In the four midfield positions we have Tielemans , Gravenberch , Wirtz and Bynoe-Gittens, with the Belgian scoring and assisting in the Young Boys- Aston Villa (0-3), while the Liverpool player played the full 90 minutes in the victory in Milan (3-1). The Bundesliga ‘s best player last season scored twice in Bayer Leverkusen ‘s rout at Feyenoord (4-0), having been elected as the best player of this matchday, and the Englishman from Dortmund scored twice in Brugge (3-0).
Finally, the attacking duo is made up of Harry Kane , who scored four goals in the historic 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb , and Antoine Griezmann , who scored and assisted in Atlético Madrid ‘s home win over Leipzig (2-1).
