Joe Hart (Man City): GRANTED, HE LOOKED nervy at times, but ultimately he still deserves enormous credit for his performance, which almost earned Man City an unlikely point owing to a string of excellent saves. However, the England goalkeeper couldn’t do anything about Boateng’s last-minute winner.
Gerard Pique (Barcelona): One of the few positives from an unconvincing 1-0 Barcelona win over Cypriot side APOEL Nicosia, Pique kept a clean sheet at the back and scored the only goal of the game.
Jerome Boateng (Bayern Munich): Always looked assured and commanding at the back and came up with the all-important winner late on to give Bayern a deserved victory over Man City.

Juan Bernat (Bayern Munich): The youngster distinguished himself going forward in a Bayern side that created several chances, while also always looking solid defensively.
Julian Draxler (Schalke): Constantly posed a threat and created the equaliser as a depleted Schalke earned a surprise point away to Chelsea.

Sergi Samper (Barcelona): There’s been plenty of hype about the 19-year-old and his debut against APOEL suggested he can back up this talk, hitting more passes than anyone else on the pitch and generally standing out despite what was ultimately a disappointing display from the Catalan side.
David Alaba (Bayern Munich): The most eye-catching member of a Bayern midfield that dominated Premier League champions Man City.
Yacine Brahmi (Porto): The Porto star scored an impressive hat-trick as his side thrashed BATE Borisov 6-0.
Gervinho (Roma): The ex-Arsenal striker hit a superb brace as Roma outclassed CSKA Moscow.
Carlos Tevez (Juventus): The former United star was omitted from Argentina’s World Cup squad in the summer, but he looked in top form on Tuesday, scoring twice as Juventus beat Malmo 2-0.
Subs: Ralf Fahrmann (Schalke), Ricardo Carvalho (Monaco), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund), Francesco Totti (Roma), Klaus Jan Huntelaar (Schalke).
