#3 Renan Lodi continues to enhance his growing reputation
It was a summer of change for Atletico Madrid as the likes of Diego Godin, Lucas Hernandez Antoine Griezmann and Filipe Luis departed the club among others.
The Spanish giants snapped up young full-back Renan Lodi from Athletico Paranaense for a meagre fee and the young Brazilian has made a name for himself in double-quick time.
Since his move to the Spanish capital, Lodi has become an undisputed starter for Diego Simeone's side and the Brazilian international enhanced his reputation further with an assured performance in both phases of play.
Lodi kept the Leverkusen attackers at bay and produced a decisive moment on the other end of the pitch as his wonderfully whipped cross was met by Alvaro Morata for the solitary goal of the game.
The 22-year-old has established himself as one of the most exciting full-backs in world football and has seamlessly adapted to glitz and glamour of football's biggest club competition.
