With thanks to Life Style Sports, we're bringing you the Champions League team of the week, with all the stats to back it up.

Instead of having to listen to mere opinions, we've decided to consult with the good people of whoscored.com to show you the best team from a goal filled week of Champions League action.

Goalkeeper

Fernando Muslera-8.0

The fact that Muslera is included in the Team of the Week despite Galatasary conceding two goals tells you just how good Uruguay's number one played during the week.

Atletico dominated proceedings at the Vicente Calderon on Wednesday night and would have scored more had Muslera not pulled off an incredible nine saves during the match.

Cesar Azpilicueta-8.4

Chelsea may have ran out comfortable winners in the end against Maccabi Tel Aviv but for long periods he game was a cagey affair.

Azpilicueta was on hand all game to help maintain a clean sheet for the Blues as he excelled in his preferred position of right back.
