Formation: 4-2-3-1
A classic Martínez week: commanding in the box, sharp with his positioning, and decisive when it mattered most. His shot-stopping under pressure once again justified his reputation as one of the league’s elite goalkeepers.
Reliable and intelligent on the right flank. Castagne balanced defensive discipline with well-timed forward runs, offering width without compromising the back line. A quietly efficient performance.
A defensive leader at the heart of the back four. Andersen dominated aerial duels, read the game superbly, and contributed with progressive passing from deep. Calm, composed, and authoritative.
Aggressive, proactive, and uncompromising. Senesi stepped out well to intercept, won key duels, and helped maintain a high defensive line. A strong all-action display at centre-back.
Energetic and relentless down the left. Cucurella’s pressing, overlapping runs, and recovery pace were crucial, while his ball progression added an extra layer to the attacking build-up.
A complete midfield performance. Andrey combined ball-winning with composure in possession, breaking lines with carries and recycling play intelligently. Mature beyond his years.
Dynamic and fearless. Anderson drove the team forward with intensity, quick passing, and smart movement between the lines. His energy was a constant problem for the opposition midfield.
Direct and explosive from the right. Dorgu consistently attacked his full-back, stretched the pitch, and brought unpredictability with his pace and one-v-one ability.
The metronome and the brain. Tonali dictated tempo, controlled space between the lines, and linked midfield to attack effortlessly. A technically dominant and tactically intelligent showing.
Decisive as ever. Saka combined creativity with end product, constantly threatening from the left flank and delivering when it mattered most. A match-winner performance.
Clinical and mobile up front. Marmoush’s movement unsettled defenders, his pressing set the tone, and his finishing sealed a standout week. A modern forward performance at its best.
