Decisive in opposition to Dinamo Zagreb, the Milan attacking midfielder had its place on this eleven of the week.

An unprecedented offensive duo Dzeko-Jutglà

Offensively, no Robert Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappé, Neymar or Erling Haaland. As a substitute, we give you a brand new duo composed of Edin Dzeko and Ferran Jutglà.

And what concerning the XXL efficiency of the Spanish striker from FC Bruges. Like all his teammates, he was enormous in opposition to Porto.
