⭐ Champions League: the evening’s three standout performers | OneFootball

Doubles at will! Spotlight on the standout performances from a memorable Champions League night.

🥉 Marcos Llorente (Atlético)

Liverpool’s nemesis has struck again! Marcos Llorente, the ultimate Anfield tormentor, was up to his old tricks this Wednesday. This impressive stat proves it: out of his seven Champions League goals, five have come at Anfield!

This Wednesday, Llorente pulled off an improbable brace to seal Atlético’s comeback (from 0-2 to 2-2). Unfortunately, Virgil van Dijk’s late goal (3-2) might overshadow Llorente’s feat.

🥈 Marcus Thuram (Inter)

Without his renowned partner Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram stepped up and scored both winning goals for Inter against Ajax (2-0). While he waits to become an undisputed starter for the French national team, Thuram remains indispensable for the Nerazzurri.

Special mention to the man who provided both assists for Thuram: the magnificent Hakan Calhanoglu.

🥇 Harry Kane (Bayern)

Harry Kane was the main architect of Bayern’s convincing victory over Chelsea (3-1). Scoring twice, he also dominated the Blues’ defenders with his hold-up play and distribution. With 11 goals already this season, Kane remains at the top of his game.

Honorable mention to his teammate Michael Olise, who continues to establish himself as a true world-class player.
