⭐️ Champions League: The 3 standout men of the night | OneFootball

Champions League evenings always offer their share of thrills, disappointments and unexpected heroes.

Three players, with their brilliance and impact, lit up this Wednesday in C1. Focus.

🥉 Erling Haaland (Man City)

The weeks follow each other and look alike for Haaland, author of yet another double, this time against AS Monaco (2-2).

The Norwegian now totals 52 goals in 50 Champions League matches. Goal machine.

Honorable mention for his young teammate Nico O'Reilly, who had a reference match at left-back.

🥈 Kevin De Bruyne (Naples)

During the J1 of C1, De Bruyne had suffered the affront of a substitution as early as the 25th minute of play.

Against Sporting this Wednesday, KDB took a small personal revenge by delivering two assists. Two gifts synonymous with a 2-1 victory for the Partenopei. You shouldn't upset the Belgian...

Honorable mention for Rasmus Højlund, who scored a resounding double in the absence of Romelu Lukaku.

🥇 Nuno Mendes (PSG)

The left-back of Paris Saint-Germain stood out against FC Barcelona. On several occasions, his incisive breakthroughs allowed PSG to break free from the suffocating press of the Blaugranas.

At the end of one of these breakthroughs, Mendes was rewarded with an assist. A boss match. He was logically elected Man of the Match by UEFA.
