4 Top Performers in the UCL Matchday 1

FC Barcelona v PSV - UEFA Champions League Group B
The one and only

#2 Nabil Fekir

Manchester City v Olympique Lyonnais - UEFA Champions League Group F
Manchester City v Olympique Lyonnais - UEFA Champions League Group F

The standout upset was Lyon's victory at Etihad which very few expected as Manchester City were being touted to glide past this group with utmost ease. The script was thrown right out the window as Fekir lead his team to a famous away win.

The player had been subject to rumours regarding a move to Liverpool all summer and if his brilliant strike, ability to beat a man and being a constant thorn in City's side are anything to go by, he might be off to some other bigger club very soon.


#1 Paul Pogba

BSC Young Boys v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Group H
A mature performance from Paul Pogba

Yes, it was against one of the weaker sides in the tournament in Young Boys, but it was the kind of performance full of maturity which is needed and a bit more. His almost annoying penalty runup and goal were sandwiched by a brilliant left-footed strike early on and a slid ball through for Martial to get the third.

On a night where he should have dominated, he did. The kind of performance United fans will expect more often from a player who can do it more often.
