Champions League 2017-18 round-of-16: Best XI from the second leg 

Attack

Ronaldo now has 12 goals in Europe this season

Left-wing - Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Records seem to be following Cristiano Ronaldo every time he plays in Europe this season. In the second leg, Ronaldo scored one and assisted one. It was his 12th European goal in the campaign and became the second player ever to score in nine consecutive Champions League matches.

Against PSG, Ronaldo was looking unplayable at times. He looked more involved than usual and was getting involved in the build up more than usual. His goal was a brilliant one too, thumping a header past a hapless Alphonse Areola.

It was an all-round performance from the big man which apart from the goal included 4 key passes, 8 winning duels and 3 successful dribbles.

Striker - Wissam Ben Yedder (Sevilla)

Ben Yedder single-handedly ousted Manchester United from Europe

Not many opposition strikers have silenced Old Trafford to such lengths like what Wissam Ben Yedder managed on Tuesday night. The super sub changed the game on its head after his arrival in the 72nd minute as he scored a brace to knock Manchester United out of Europe's top competition.

His first was a beautiful finish past De Gea while his second was a free header at the back post, courtesy of some shoddy Manchester United defending. Ben Yedder could have astonishingly hit a hattrick but his meek one-on-one shot was saved with minimum fuss by De Gea.

The striker that was once rejected by West Ham for his lack of height has now managed to dismantle the most successful club in England.

Right-wing - Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona)

Magician

It was a vintage Lionel Messi performance against the Blues of London. The great man scored two, assisted one and kept the discussion about Messidependencia ongoing for another day. As Antonio Conte reflected later, his side lost to a man called Messi which was the correct assessment for both the legs.

For the first goal, Messi embarrassed Thibaut Courtois by scoring with a shot between his legs from the acutest of angles. He then attracted Chelsea's defenders towards him and fed Ousmane Dembele with a pinpoint assist.

His second goal on the night showed his insane speed with the ball and a stinging shot which again found space between the legs of Thibaut Courtois.

The Belgian must have had nightmares about Messi in his sleep. With his brace, Messi has now netted 20 goals against English opposition and has truly conquered the teams from the so-called best league in the world.
