⭐️ Champions League: The three standout performers of the night | OneFootball

A new Champions League evening came to an end this Tuesday. A third matchday full of goals and twists.

Among these matches, three players stood out. Find out who they are.

🥉 Gabriel (Arsenal)

The defender proved tonight that he is one of the best in his position. In addition to being the one who started the trouble for Atlético, Gabriel was simply phenomenal throughout the match.

Substituted in the 72nd minute, the player didn’t even need a full 90 minutes to show that he was just too strong.

🥈 Fermin Lopez (FC Barcelona)

How could you overlook the Catalan? Scoring a hat-trick against Olympiakos, Fermin Lopez surely delivered one of the most complete performances of his young career. He also became the first Spaniard to score a hat-trick in the Champions League for FC Barcelona since 1986 (Pichi Alonso against Göteborg). 

Fermin Lopez was logically named man of the match at the end of the game.

🥇 Vitinha (PSG)

What can you say about Vitinha? One of the best midfielders in the world right now has, once again, proven who he is. His incredible goal at the very end of the match was just the icing on the cake of an already outstanding performance from the Portuguese player. Also providing a decisive assist, the midfielder was everywhere at once. 

At this point, we don’t even know what else to say to describe him.
