LaLiga 2017/2018, Team of the Week (Matchday Six): Dani Ceballos's first start, Lionel Messi's man-marker and more

Dani Ceballos was the man of the moment for Real Madrid

Midfielder: Dani Ceballos (Real Madrid)

It didn't take long for Dani Ceballos to make an impact for Real Madrid, with the former Betis midfielder netting two vital goals in a narrow 2-1 win over struggling Deportivo Alaves. The Spaniard popped up twice in the right place at the right time to slot home two low finishes, highlighting a confidence that will go a long way at Los Blancos.

Midfielder: Goncalo Guedes (Valencia)

Used his pace and power to brilliant effect down the left-hand side for Valencia, as Marcelino's men edged a 3-2 contest at the Anoeta against Real Sociedad. Picked out two lovely assists, after driving to the byline. Continues to look like he will be a vital part of Los Che's counter-attacking machine during the remainder of the LaLiga season.

Midfielder: Pione Sisto (Celta Vigo)

Picked out two assists for Celta in Ipurua, as a bizarre game saw Unzue's men make the most of set pieces in a 4-0 victory. The Denmark international also fortuitously saw a long-range free-kick bounce straight into the back of the net without a teammate touching it, to add an extra sparkle to his performance. Bright and lively down the left, always keen to beat a man and use his pace.

Midfielder: Koke (Atletico Madrid)

Stepped up to the mark after some disappointing collective performances from Atletico Madrid so far this season in LaLiga. Helped to control play from central midfield, acting as a fulcrum for a much more fluid and exciting Atleti to revolve around.

Showed personality and positivity with his passing range, and appeared to have some freedom to get forward when he liked.
