UEFA has announced its Team of the Week for Matchday Two of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League, recognising players who delivered outstanding performances during the latest round of fixtures.
The selection, made by the UEFA Technical Observer Group and presented by Hyundai, features 11 players who distinguished themselves in a remarkable round that produced 78 goals across 18 matches.
The selected players are goalkeeper Stas Pokatilov of Sabah; defenders Maximiliano Araújo of Sporting CP, Falchener of Viking FK, Jeff Chabot of Stuttgart and Fredrik Sjøvold of Bodø/Glimt.
The midfield positions went to Manzambi of Aston Villa and Vitinha of Paris Saint-Germain, while the attacking line comprises Bradley Barcola of Liverpool, Harry Kane of Bayern Munich, Nicolò Tresoldi of Club Brugge and Lamine Yamal of Barcelona.
Barcola emerged as one of the biggest standouts following his impressive hat-trick in Liverpool’s 6-3 away victory over LASK. His performance also earned him the Player of the Week award.
Bayern Munich striker Kane and Barcelona youngster Yamal also made the cut after their contributions during the matchday, while PSG midfielder Vitinha secured his place following an impressive display in his side’s 4-2 victory over Manchester City.
Sabah goalkeeper Pokatilov was rewarded for his excellent performance after recording a clean sheet in a historic win for the Azerbaijani club.
Other notable results from the round included Aston Villa’s emphatic 6-0 victory over Fenerbahçe, Real Madrid’s dramatic 4-3 comeback win away to Roma and Club Brugge’s thrilling 4-3 triumph over Inter Milan.
The Team of the Week highlights the individual players who made the greatest impact during each round of the Champions League league phase.
