They made their own luck. These are the players that were instrumental in their team’s performance over the past weekend.
As it is with every other week, picking the outright brightest star is never easy, and sometimes blinding. There were many bright spots over the weekend, but these are the men that were able to make our list.
The final shortlist for #SOTW included…
Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund vs Bayer Leverkusen) – German Bundesliga
Florian Thauvin (Marseille vs Lille) – French Ligue 1
Lionel Messi (Sevilla vs Barcelona) – Copa del Rey Final
Andres Iniesta (Sevilla vs Barcelona)- Copa del Rey Final
Ander Herrera (Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur) – English FA Cup
Alfred Finnbogason (Augsburg vs Mainz 05) -German Bundesliga
Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal vs West Ham United) – English Premier League
But the SOTW will have to go to
