Wojciech Szczesny: 6.5 The Polish goalkeeper did not have much shot-stopping to do on the night with Olympiacos only threatening Barcelona's goals sporadically. His distribution, however, was uncharacteristically sloppy. The goalkeeper gave the ball away directly to the opponents' feet on multiple occasions and was lucky that they did not capitalise on the same. Alejandro Balde: 8 Balde had a strong game in terms of pushing forward in attack and combined well with Dro in the half-spaces.

Jordan Pickford Pulled off a couple of good saves in the second half to maintain his impressive clean sheet record. That's nine in a row now. 6.5 Djed Spence Has taken to international football like a duck to water. Sterner tests lie ahead, of course, but a good start to his England career. 7 John Stones Two games in five days will do the Manchester City defender a world of good. Still one of the first names on the team-sheet, fitness permitting. 7

Nikola Milenkovic (CB): Utterly dreadful. Nowhere to be seen when England broke through. Dismissed for a clumsy tackle on Kane. 2 Strahina Pavlovic (CB): Played to the left and failed to deal with the movement around him. Serbia were cumbersome at the back. 3 Veljko Birmancevic (LB): Destroyed by Noni Madueke. Could not handle the Arsenal winger's speed. Off at half-time. 3 Andrija Zivkovic (RM): The game passed him by. Pushed back by England's forwards.

📸: Alan Dobbins/RMNB Alex Ovechkin received a slight boost in rating from EA Sports for NHL 26. Ovechkin is back up to 90 overall, one year after dropping into the 80s (89) in the video game franchise for the first time in his career. The legendary winger followed up the digital disrespect by posting 44 goals in 65 games during his age-39 season, breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record along the way.

In terms of where he ranks among his right wing peers, Nylander is tied for fifth overall, with Tampa Bay Lightning's Nikita Kucherov coming at the top with 96 overall, Boston Bruins and Nylander's own best bud David Pastrnak placing second with 94 overall, Mikko Rantanen in third with 93 overall, and then reigning Stanley Cup champion Sam Reinhart rounding out the group who are rated above Nylander.

Robert Sanchez made four saves when he was called upon, preventing what could've been an even worse result for Chelsea.

I like playing Madden, so I would like to be rated higher. But I've got to play and showcase that stuff on the field. I believe that if I go out there and play the football I want to play, we can get to 99 pretty quickly.
