Who is the best player of last week? We name 5 candidates based on their ratings & performances. Please vote for the player who impressed you most last week.
Tottenham Hotspur's Jan Vertonghen, PSG's Angel Di Maria, Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo, AC Milan's Krzysztof Piatek and Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman are the five nominees for our All Football Player of the Week, with all of them included in our All Football Team of the Week.
Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham Hotspur)
Vertonghen produced a man-of-the-match performance in his team's 3-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League last-16 first leg.
With a goal and an assist in Tottenham's win over Bundesliga leaders Dortmund, the Belgian defender named UCL Player of the Week award.
The 31-year-old, playing in an unusual role of left wing-back, made Spurs' opener 76 seconds after the restart when he crossed for Son Heung-min and then scored the second goal in the 83rd minute.
Angel Di Maria (PSG)
The former Man Utd star had the last laugh on his return to Old Trafford as he inspired PSG to a 2-0 win over his ex-club.
Di Maria was appearing at Old Trafford for the first time since a disappointing spell at United in 2014-15, playing a starring role with two assists as PSG took complete control of the last-16 tie.
The Argentina winger did his part to silence the boo-boys by providing the assist for Kimpembe's opener from a corner before laying one on a plate for Mbappe in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus)
Ronaldo proved his importance to Juventus once again as he scored and assisted in a match for the third time in a row on Friday.
The Portuguese superstar is on a rare run of getting goals and assists, after pulling it off against Parma, Sassuolo and Frosinone. It is the second time in the 34-year-old's career that he has scored and set up goals in three games in a row. The last time he put such run together was in November 2014, when he was still with Real Madrid.
His 19th goal extends his lead at the top of the Serie A goal chart, while he now has made the joint-most assists in the league after getting his eighth of the season against Frosinone.
And the goal from Ronaldo means that he's only the second player to score 19 goals in his first 24 Serie A appearances & helped him rewrite the club's history as he went level with a record that John Charles set in 1958.
Krzysztof Piatek (AC Milan)
The Milan new signing found the net six times in just four starts between Serie A and the Coppa Italia, including a brace in the 3-1 victory away to Atalanta last week.
Piatek has made history, taking only 310 minutes of competitive football to score his first six Milan goals – with 18 attempts. No Milan striker has ever reached six goals so quickly in a Rossoneri jersey, as he achieved it in just 310 minutes of game time. That crushes the previous record-holder Gunnar Nordahl, who took 419 minutes.
As Milan boss Gattuso said, the Poland international 'lives to score goals'.
Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich)
The French winger scored twice and set up for another goal in Bayern's 3-2 win over Augsburg on Friday.
Coman scored twice to bring his side back from behind before Alaba scored a second-half winner which helped Bayern reduce the gap to the Bundesliga leaders, Borussia Dortmund, to two points.
Although the 22-year-old was injured in the final stages of the game, turning his left ankle on which he previously had surgery on. But it was fortunate that he has been declared fit to play against Liverpool in Tuesday's Champions League last-16 first leg at Anfield.
Feel free to leave your thoughts and suggestions in the comments section. The winner of the vote will be announced tomorrow.
See you next week!

This just a Popularity vote!!!! Ronaldo vs Frosinone : Difficulty, EASY Piatek vs Atalanta: Difficulty: Hard Di Maria vs Man united, St Etienne: Really Hard Vertogen vs Dortmund: Hard Mbappe(w/o Neymar) vs Man united, St Etienne: Very hard But hypnotized fans will vote for the most popular player because they want to make loudest noise???? With Perez already separated from Cristiano, i hope he doesn't win any Ballon d'or again!!! His winning ways is always based on popularity/influence and not on merit!!!!

Cristiano Ronaldo deserves the award, he's phenomenal this past week, a assist for dybala. a goal for himself, dribbles and many crosses Even his celebration alongside Dybala is enough to win him player of the week

Piątek deserves this one. He's been exceptional this season. Scorer goals at Genoa, came straight into the Milan side and still continued his rich vein of form even with a lot of doubts he could continue. His finish for his first goal was incredible, the technical quality and balance, along with the eye for goal to pull that off was incredible. Krzysztof Piątek, ladies and gentlemen.

Super Jan. 1 Goal. 1 Assist. Clean Sheet. Playing as a LWB. But obviously it won't go to a defender.
