UEFA Champions League 2018-19: Top 5 picks from Gameweek 2

Tottenham Hotspur v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League Group B

#3 Best Manager: Ernesto Valverde

<p>

Before this match, Valverde had received much criticism for his recent change to 4-3-3 which has not produced the desired results for Barcelona. But, he made a gutsy decision and decided to continue with the 4-3-3 formation against a top level opponent away from home.

The move paid off big time as Barcelona looked utterly dominant and Coutinho also looked good in the left flank. This was a typical Barca-style thrashing as the passing was top notch and the front three looked very ominous. The defence also held up decently in the absence of the regulars Roberto and Umtiti and Valverde would like to take this momentum forward to this weekend encounter against Valencia.
