The selection with the best South Americans in Europe during the football day on Saturday and Sunday is made by the AFP agency, which also highlights the Uruguayan Luis Suárez for reaching 150 goals in the Spanish League, 147 with Barcelona and 3 with Atlético de Madrid.

After the dispute of the major European leagues, the eleven of the day is formed by the following players (3-4-3): David Ospina – Fabián Balbuena, Douglas Santos, Germán Pezzella – Yangel Herrera, James Rodríguez, José Sosa, Manuel Lanzini – Luis Suárez, Giovanni Simeone and Lucas Alario.

David Ospina (Naples): The Colombian returned to the title in the win against Atalanta (4-1), contributing with 2 saves and an assist for the Neapolitan team’s fourth goal in the Italian League.

Fabián Balbuena (West Ham): The Paraguayan central defender made his debut as a scorer this season in the Premier League with the goal with which West Ham began the comeback to get a point from the tie against Tottenham (3-3).

Douglas Santos (Zenit): The Brazilian left-back made 50 appearances for the Saint Petersburg team and celebrated it by registering a goal and two assists in the triumph against Sochi (3-1).

“Reaching 50 games with Zenit is very important to me and having helped the team to win the three points makes it more special,” he told the club’s media after the match.

Germán Pezzella (Fioretina): The central defender from Bahía Blanca scored the goal that opened the scoring in the tie between Fiorentina and Spezia (2-2).

The match also marked the Argentine’s debut this season in Serie A.

James Rodríguez (Everton): The Cucuteño midfielder had an outstanding performance in the ‘derby’ against Liverpool that culminated in a tie (2-2), with a controversial intervention by the VAR.

James gave the assistance for the first goal of the ‘Toffees’ to reach 3 goals and 3 passes to goal in 5 Premier League games, thus ratifying his good moment, in contrast to the criticism that Zidane has received for not having taken advantage of the Colombian.

Luis Suárez (Atlético de Madrid): The ‘Pistolero’ scored the goal that opened the scoring in the win against Celta de Vigo (2-0) to reach 150 goals in the League; 147 with Barcelona and three with the ‘rojiblanco’ club.
