Italy international Guglielmo Vicario and Inter full-back Denzel Dumfries have been named in the official UEFA Champions League Team of the Week.

The ideal XI from the Matchday 3 games was chosen by the UEFA Technical Observer Group, who analysed every single fixture played this week in the tournament.

Italy player Vicario was a rock in the Tottenham Hotspur net during their 0-0 draw with AS Monaco.

He was picked in the Team of the Week thanks to his Goals Prevented metric of 2.68, where he was forced to make eight saves to keep the clean sheet and pick up a precious away point.

Meanwhile, Inter wing-back Dumfries earned his place with the performance in their 4-0 victory away to Union Saint-Gilloise.

Not only did he find the net for the second Champions League game in a row, but he also put in five crosses, as many as any other player in the tournament this week.

PSV Eindhoven winger Dennis Man, formerly of Parma, is also included after scoring twice in the 6-2 rout of Napoli.

Champions League Team of the Week

Vicario (Tottenham); Dumfries (Inter), Van Dijk (Liverpool), Gabriel (Arsenal), Nuno Mendes (PSG); Karl (Bayern Munich), Nmecha (Borussia Dortmund), Fermin Lopez (Barcelona); Man (PSV), Guruzeta (Athletic Club), Gordon (Newcastle)
