UEFA releases UCL team of the week for match day two

UEFA has announced the Team of the Week for Matchday 2 of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League, featuring a mix of star players and emerging talents. The selection was made by the UEFA Technical Observer Group and presented by Hyundai. The team includes goalkeeper Stas Pokatilov from Sabah, who kept a clean sheet in the Azerbaijani side's historic victory, and defenders Maximiliano Araújo from Sporting CP, Falchener from Viking FK, Jeff Chabot from Stuttgart, and Fredrik Sjøvold from Bodø/Glimt.

Midfielders Manzambi from Aston Villa and Vitinha from Paris Saint-Germain, along with forwards Bradley Barcola from Liverpool, Harry Kane from Bayern Munich, Nicolò Tresoldi from Club Brugge, and Lamine Yamal from Barcelona, were also recognized for their outstanding performances. Liverpool's Barcola was awarded Player of the Week for his hat-trick in the Reds' 6-3 victory away at LASK.

The high-scoring matchday produced dramatic results, including Aston Villa's 6-0 win over Fenerbahçe, Real Madrid's late 4-3 comeback at Roma, and Club Brugge's 4-3 triumph at Inter Milan.
