The schedule for Matchday 6 was packed with heavy hitters, culminating in a spectacular Real Madrid-Manchester City clash. But we must admit, we were disappointed by the quality of some matches, with rather uninspiring scenarios, such as those involving PSG and AS Monaco. This wasn't the case for Marseille, whose match offered numerous twists and turns. But let's start with the goalkeeper we've chosen as the best of Matchday 6. And we're highlighting Unai Simon , the Athletic Bilbao keeper, who frustrated the PSG attackers, who, admittedly, weren't very clinical in front of goal.
In defense, we have goal-scoring full-backs like Grimaldo , who netted Bayer Leverkusen's equalizer against Newcastle, and the breakout star Anan Khalaili , who bagged a brace against Marseille at right wing-back. The 21-year-old Israeli, who plays for Union Saint-Gilloise, possesses incredible talent and a remarkable shot with both feet, complemented by numerous dangerous crosses. At center-back, we're placing Jules Koundé and Josko Gvardiol . Yes, Koundé plays on the right for Barcelona, and it was in this position that he scored a crucial brace in three minutes against Eintracht Frankfurt. But he's also capable of playing centrally, and he partners Gvardiol, Manchester City's best defender yesterday, who was rock solid against the onslaught from Real Madrid at the end of the match.
Right wingers in top form
In midfield, we have a new duo, one we're unlikely to see again anytime soon, as we're starting Richard Rios of Benfica Lisbon, who scored a goal and provided an assist in the impressive victory against Napoli, and Bernardo Silva , who hasn't been this brilliant in quite some time. The Portuguese was everywhere on the pitch last night against Real Madrid, a real thorn in the side of the opposition. In this 4-2-3-1 formation we're building, it's now time to focus on the attacking midfielders. And to lead the charge, we've selected Charles De Ketelaere . He can be both invisible and dazzling, and he delivered his best performance against Chelsea on Tuesday night, providing an assist for Scamacca and scoring the winning goal for a surprising Atalanta side.
As for the wings, let's be clear from the start: we had to move some players, as many right wingers shone during this sixth matchday. The prize for the best goal is the prize, so we're putting Noni Madueke in his usual position on the right wing. A brace against Bruges, including a spectacular goal, has solidified the England international's status as a super-sub for Arsenal. On the left wing, we're putting Rodrygo , Real Madrid's best player last night, with a goal and constant activity. He also made frequent runs down the left flank. Finally, up front, lacking a true number 9 in form, we're moving Mason Greenwood further forward. The Englishman carried Marseille on his shoulders against Union Saint-Gilloise, scoring a brace that was as important as it was beautiful to watch.
