Ozil, Bale, De Bruyne named in Champions League players of the week list.

Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil, Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne have made The UEFA Champions League players of the week list.

The duo are the only EPL players to be named in the list.

Ozil’s spectacular goal in Arsenal’s 3-2 comeback win against Ludogorets is still a hot topic in football circles.

The German sent the world into a frenzy after he humiliated the keeper before netting a sensational late winner in Bulgaria. De Bruyne put up an overwhelming performance, scoring a sublime free kick as Man City beat Barcelona 3-1 at the Etihad few days ago.

Others included in the list include; Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, Monaco’s Radamel Falcao, Juventus’ Gonzalo Higuain, Atletico’s Antoine Griezmann, Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale and BVB’s Adrian Ramos.

Antoine Griezmann help Atletico Madrid grab their first win

Atletico Madrid got their first win of the season over newly promoted Las Palmas courtesy of Antoine Griezmann’s free kick. All eyes were on £25 million signing Jackson Martinez on his competitive debut for the club, but it was the familiar face of Griezmann who quickly took centre-stage at the Vicente Calderon.
He won the free-kick which led to the opening goal, his powerful effort taking a small deflection off a Las Palmas player and flummoxing goalkeeper Raul Lizoain on its way into the net to secure the 1-0 win.
