A pair of Real Madrid stars made the cut to secure inclusions in the statistical Team of the Round at the World Cup, alongside a member of the defensive ranks at Barcelona.
The latest set of fixtures at international football’s grandest tournament were of course played to completion over the last couple of days.
When all was said and done, it was France, Spain, Argentina and England who advanced, to set up a mouthwatering pair of semi-final ties for the week ahead.
Statisticians WhoScored, in turn, have since revealed their XI of the standout performers of the quarter-finals. And as alluded to above, La Liga stars feature front and centre.
From Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham makes the cut owing to his match-winning heroics against Norway, whilst Kylian Mbappé is also included after keeping his Golden Boot pursuit alive against Morocco.
From Hansi Flick’s Barcelona squad, meanwhile, Jules Koundé is the sole contributor, after impressing once more from his berth at right-back for France.
