Manchester City’s Brazilian midfield duo Fernandinho and Fernando have been named in UEFA’s team of the week, after their impressive performances in the Champions League semi-final 1st leg against Real Madrid.
The City pair did well to snuff out Real’s threat in the 0-0 draw in Manchester. They squared up against compatriot Casemiro, who also impressed in midfield for Madrid, but not enough to make the team of the week.
Atlético Madrid full-back Filipe Luis also made the cut, after Atleti’s excellent defensive performance, shackling Bayern Munich in a 1-0 win at the Vicente Calderon stadium. The retun legs of both ties take place in the coming week.
