The first knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League (Round of 16) – having concluded on Wednesday, [thus: February 11th to 23rd], leading us to put together the highest-rated XI as the “Team of the Week”.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid<\/strong> and Bayern Munich<\/strong> were the only sides with three features – the most by a team, while Napoli<\/strong> with two, and the rest of the squad chosen from Liverpool<\/strong>, Manchester<\/strong> City<\/strong>, and Borussia Dortmund<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chelsea’s nightmare at the Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel emerged as our Player of the Week<\/strong>. His composure in the goalpost, quickness, and bravery played a huge role in their 1-0 advantage ahead of the second-leg fixture.<\/p>\n

With a rating of 9.2, the Swiss international performance surpasses any other in the round of 16, first leg.<\/p>\n
