Olympique Lyonnais v TSG 1899 Hoffenheim - UEFA Champions League Group F

Hoffenheim have made an absolute habit of unearthing footballing gems. The club from a tiny German town has shot up the German professional ranks and this season found themselves in the Champions League group stage mix for the first time in the club's history. Their amazing scouting system and relationship with Brazilian football agency ROGON is a big part of this. Plucking Roberto Firmino from outside the Brazilian top flight with no national youth team experience proved to be a masterstroke. Hoffenheim signed Luiz Gustavo while in 2.Bundesliga, and the player went on to win the Champions League with Bayern and amass over 40 caps for the Brazilian national team. Next in line seems to be their new summer signing, Joelinton. The Brazilian's raw but direct running style is a major concern for opposition defences. The 22-year-old production in his first season has been very impressive scoring 8 goals and providing 7 assists in his debut season. In Julian Nagelsmann's final season with the club, he has left Hoffenheim with a potential world star.
