It appears that it has happened again.

Take your pick.

Saul. Made a fair few cracking tackles and was involved in a lot of plays. Great performance.

Saul for me. Regularly won the ball fairly deep, broke forward and used it well. Was surprised when Tuchel took him off unless he was worried about his fitness.

i give it to Ziyech for that pass to put Werner 1 on 1

Gave it to Rudigier for the steadiness at the back.

Ziyech played really well but missed some chances in the second half which put a shadow on an otherwise great game from him.

Dave had a great game. 

Who would have thought Saul would be MOTM in a match against Spurs.

Had Son in his pocket. He seemed to block most crosses and shots too, and any chance they did get, he put his body in a position that made it difficult to get a clean shot on goal.

Wait, Son was playing? I don’t believe you, you’ll try and tell me Harry Kane was on the pitch next!

He spent most of the game in Sarr's pocket, the only other time I noticed him was when he was crying on the floor

Between Sarr and Saul for me. Sarr gets it for making Kane cry.

Rüdiger for me. Great consistency in his "new" role and hitting those long balls like a dream. Ziyech close second.

Pleasant surprise to see how good Saul and Sarr were. Went with the former.

Maybe he is far more comfortable playing in 442 which is Atletico default formation

Saul MOTM. 

My vote goes to Saul but the unsung hero was Marcos. Proving the critics wrong, once again.
