Champions League last-16 stage team of the week

There are only eight teams left in the Champions League after another memorable round of football. Ajax were one of the big surprise winners in a thrilling last-16 stage-reaching their first Champions League quarter-final since 2003 with a 5-3 aggregate win over Real Madrid. Tottenham were the first British team to enter their name into the hat after overcoming Borussia Dortmund 4-0 on aggregate. Manchester United needed a late VAR as they overturned a 2-0 first leg deficit against PSG to win 3-1 on the night and progress on aggregate. Porto also needed a VAR Penalty in extra-time against Roma to secure their passage into the last eight. Manchester City crushed Schalke 10-2 on aggregate. Cristiano Ronaldo struck a hat-trick as Juventus recovered from a 2-0 first leg deficit to Atletico Madrid to win 3-2 on aggregate. Liverpool knocked out Bayern Munich with a 3-1 win at the Allianz Arena, while Barcelona thrashed Lyon 5-1 at the Nou Camp to book their place in the last eight. Ahead of the quarter-final draw on Friday, March 15 let us take a look who impressed and made it into last-16 stage’s Dream team of the week by VBet Fantasy Football. Hugo Lloris is the only goalkeeper who kept a clean sheet in the last-16 round of the Champions League. The France international has made memorable saves for Tottenham Hotspur. Alex Telles scored an important goal for Porto against AS Roma to secure their place in the quarterfinals. Barcelona’s Gerard Pique has always been much more than a defender as he scored a goal for his side against Lyon. Juventus were superb against Atletico Madrid and Joao Cancelo was one of the best players of his side, as he kept a clean sheet and provided an assist. Another defender who scored a goal for his team was Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool, who created an assist and scored a goal against Bayern Munich. Manchester City scored 10 goals in the last-16 round, but Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane made it into team of the round. Bernardo Silva scored a goal and created an assist, while Leroy Sane scored one, but created three assists. Sadio Mane of Liverpool scored two goals to secure a place in the quarterfinals. Ajax destroyed Real Madrid and Dusan Tadic was one of the main reasons, as he scored a goal and provided two assists. Do not pretend to be surprised to see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo among the best players of the round. Cristiano Ronaldo scored his eighth Champions League hat-trick-the joint-most in the competition alongside Lionel Messi. It was also his 124th goal in the tournament, more than Atletico Madrid have netted in the competition (118). Lionel Messi scored his 62nd goal in 61 Champions League games at the Nou Camp in the 5-1 victory over Lyon. Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 30 Champions League home games (W27 D3 L0), the longest ever run in the competition.
