The France Ligue 1 round 13 behind us now – as its heads into the 14th week – put together the highest-rated XI based on individual performance.
Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain are the only two sides represented by multiple players, as seven different teams saw their stars featured – [RC Lens, Troyes, Stade Rennais, AJ Auxerre, OGC Nice, Reims and Monaco].
Made a great impact from the bench to power RC Lens past Toulouse on a 3-0 score-line, Lois Openda emerged as the player of the week.
A goalless draw until his introduction in the 56th minute, the 22-year-old Belgium international alarmed his presence after four minutes with a cool head goal – afterwards a well-positioned strike in the 86th and the crucial third at stoppage time (90+2) – a real hero for his side.
Other outstanding performers who made the team as well include – PSG’s duo Neymar and Lionel Messi, who scored and assisted each in a dramatic 4-3 win over Troyes.
