Three days, 18 games, a boatload of high-grade performers: there really hasn't been a shortfall of options for our first Champions League team of the week. We'll be playing 4-4-2 this time, partly because it's the formation that lets you get the broadest sweep of options into your XI but mostly because I watched "Mike Bassett: England Manager" last week.

David Raya made a stunning double save to keep out a second-half penalty as Arsenal held Atalanta to a 0-0 draw to begin their Champions League campaign in Italy. Raya saved Mateo Retegui ’s spot-kick down low to his right and then managed to scramble across the goal-line and keep out the Atalanta forward’s header from close range.

That may be more of an issue for this new Champions League than Mikel Arteta, who seemed content enough to come from Atalanta with a 0-0 draw and an opening point. That was largely thanks to both the intelligence and instinct of David Raya.
