Messi was the obvious pick with his double against Liverpool

With the Champions League semi-final first legs out of the way, the winning teams saw their players arranged into a XI of the week which would have scored the most points in their fantasy game. 

UEFA rewarded Barca for their 3-0 win over Liverpool by putting seven players in that side - Ter Stegen, Piqué, Sergi Roberto, Jordi Alba, Philippe Coutinho, Luis Suárez and Leo Messi.

The other four players belong to Ajax, who beat Tottenham 1-0 in London to put a foot in the final. Van de Beek's goal did it and he makes the team, along with Matthijs de Ligt and Daley Blind, as well as the talented forward Hakim Ziyech. 

The top scorer was Messi, obviously, playing the role of God in his temple. He struck twice, reaching 600 goals. 

Curiously Coutinho was in the side despite being whistled by his own fans, while others like Arturo Vidal and Frenkie de Jong were not included despite playing well.
