UEFA Leaves Lucas Hernandez Out of Matchday 3 XI Despite Barcelona Goal

UEFA technical observers named the Champions League Matchday 3 Team of the Week on Thursday, selecting Paris Saint-Germain winger Désiré Doué while overlooking defender Lucas Hernandez. The selection panel prioritized individual rating metrics across the slate, resulting in just a single representative from the French champions following their high-profile fixture against FC Barcelona.
