The following will be a weekly segment where I will present the players who performed the best this week in the world of soccer.

Goalkeeper- Manuel Neuer (FC Bayern Munich)

Manuel has been playing exceptionally well for the past month, racking up many clean sheets. Bayern Munich, the team he represents, has only lost 1 game this season. A sensational performance so far which has a lot to do with Manuel.

 

Left back- Samuel Umtiti (Barcelona)

Even though Samuel is officially recognized as a center back he plays in the left back role for Barcelona, and has been excelling in this position. A prime example was his exceptional form in Barcelona’s most previous game against Paris Saint- Germaine. He showed excellent confidence in himself and his teammates .

 

Centre back- Javi Martinez (FC Bayern Munich)

Javi did not show a world class performance this week but he did show promising signs of more to come.

 

 

Center back- Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli)

Kalidou had good form this week.

 

 

 

Right back- Antonio Valencia (Manchester United)

Having changed from midfielder to a defender Valencia has performed excellently.

 

 

 

Central Midfield- Ivan Perišić

Ivan has turned many transfer requests to join big clubs such as Real Madrid and has proved why he has stayed loyal to Inter Milan.

 

 

Central Midfield- Thiago Alcântara

Thiago has proven why he should be a first team starter of many  seasons for Bayern Munich.

 

 

 

 

Left Midfield- Neymar

Neymar’s remarkable 2 goals in the UEFA champions league tie against PSG was enough to get him on this list.

 

 

 

Right Midfield- Arjen Robben

Robben scored 2 goals last week against tough competition in Arsenal.

 

 

 

Striker- Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi helped to bring Barcelona back to win from a 5-1 deficit.

 

 

Striker- Zlatan Ibrahimović

He’s Zlatan. Of course he’s going to be on the list.
