UEFA has named the symbolic team of the thirteenth game week of the 2024/25 Champions League (based on the results of the first matches of the 1/4 finals ).
It included all four nominees for the Player of the Week award: Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni , Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice , Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski .
The Italian, English and French clubs have “delegated” three players each to the team of the week. The Catalan giants are represented by two players – in addition to the Polish striker, the choice fell on winger Lamine Jamal from Barcelona, who at the age of 17 years and 270 days became the second youngest goalscorer (after Bojan Krkic) in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
- Champions League Team of the Week : Yann Sommer (Inter) – Jurrien Timbert (Arsenal), William Saliba (Arsenal), Alessandro Bastoni (Inter), Nuno Mendes (Paris Saint-Germain) – Nicolo Barella (Inter), Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain), Declan Rice (Arsenal) – Lamine Yamal (Barcelona), Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Paris Saint-Germain)
Let us recall that last Tuesday and Wednesday, Arsenal crushed Real Madrid at home (3:0), Inter beat Bayern away (2:1), Barcelona destroyed Borussia D on their home field (4:0), and PSG achieved a comeback victory at home against Aston Villa (3:1).
The return quarter-final matches of the Champions League quarter-finals will take place next week – on April 15 and 16.
