UEFA RELEASES BEST XI OF THE GROUP ROUNDS

Lionel Messi has been included in UEFA.com's best XI for the Champions League group stages.

The Barcelona star scored 10 goals, one short of the group stage record, including hat-tricks against Celtic and Manchester City.



He only played in five games, too, missing the win at Borussia Monchengladbach, so may have equalled the record of 11 goals if he'd been fit for that game in January.

However, there's no room for any other Barça players, while Real Madrid, the Champions League holders, are without representation, too.

Atletico Madrid and Sevilla do feature, though, with goalkeeper Jan Oblak and defender Sergio Escudero named in the side.
