Who shone, who fell off? blue Sport follows the performances of the Swiss mercenaries very closely.
🇩🇪 Bundesliga
Bayer Leverkusen
Granit Xhaka
The national team captain suffered a setback with Leverkusen. Leverkusen squandered a 2-0 lead in a 2-2 draw at home to Kiel. Xhaka failed to rouse his team-mates after the promoted side equalized. In the 25th minute, Xhaka played the pass to Victor Boniface to make it 3-0, but the goal was disallowed for offside.
Dortmund
Gregor Kobel
Gregor Kobel made all the saves he could in the 2-1 defeat against Union Berlin. At 0-1, the national team keeper guessed the corner of the penalty kick, but Union's Vogt's finish was too precise and important. At 0:2 shortly before the break, his team-mates blocked his view and Vertessen's powerful finish from the edge of the penalty area was too strong.
Gladbach
Jonas Omlin
The player from Lucerne missed Borussia Mönchengladbach's 2-1 defeat against Augsburg through injury.
Gladbach
Nico Elvedi
The international defender was in the starting line-up for the away defeat, but had to come off at half-time with the score at 0-1. Elvedi played solidly. No more, no less.
Augsburg
Ruben Vargas
Ruben Vargas was missing from Augsburg's 2-1 win over Gladbach due to an ankle ligament injury.
Mainz 05
Silvan Widmer
2 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats: That's the Bundesliga record of Widmer's Mainz after the 3-0 win against St. Pauli. Widmer played no part in Bo Henriksen's plans last Saturday. He was on the bench for the entire match.
Stuttgart
Fabian Rieder
Came on for Enzo Millot in the 73rd minute and immediately made his own mark. Rieder played behind the strikers and created momentum. However, the 1:1 draw against Hoffenheim did not produce any tangible results.
Stuttgart
Leonidas Stergiou
VfB were still missing through injury.
Wolfsburg
Cédric Zesiger
For the first time this season, Zesiger had to sit on the substitutes' bench. He remained there for the 3-1 win against Bochum.
Frankfurt
Aurèle Amenda
The central defender watched from the bench in the 3-3 draw against Bayern Munich.
Freiburg
Bruno Ifechukwu Ogbus
Was not in the squad for the 1-0 win against Werder Bremen.
Freiburg
Johan Manzambi
Like teammate Ogbus, Manzambi was not part of the team for the away win in Bremen.

🏴 Premier League
Manchester City
Manuel Akanji
Akanji was sent off after 62 minutes in the Citizens' 3-2 win over Fulham. At 0:1, goalscorer Pereira got away from the Nati defender behind his back. Otherwise a solid performance.
Newcastle
Fabian Schär
Played through in the draw against Everton. Schär showed his class in the forward movement time and again. Had opponent Dominic Calvert-Lewin under control. Received a yellow card for a foul shortly before the end.
🇮🇹 Serie A
Inter Milan
Yann Sommer
Had to make two saves against Torino. Had no chance when conceding the first goal, Sommer came close to scoring the Torino penalty and was accordingly annoyed. Made a strong save in the opening quarter of an hour after Samuele Ricci's powerful shot from distance. Hat-trick scorer Marcus Thuram secured a 3-2 win for Inter.
AC Milan
Noah Okafor
Came off the bench in the 73rd minute and failed to make an impact in the 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina. Meanwhile, the goalkeepers were the heroes of the game. Three penalties were whistled, all of which were saved. Fiorentina keeper De Gea saved two of them, Milan goalie Maignan one.
Bologna
Michel Aebischer
Replaced at half-time. Inconspicuous game from the midfielder in the 0-0 draw against Parma.
Bologna
Dan Ndoye
Winger Ndoye caused more of a stir. In the 36th minute, he powered his way down the left flank with speed and technique, forcing the opposing keeper to make the necessary save. The powerful shot into the bottom left corner would have been just right. After the change of ends, he was badly pulled off his feet. Woyo Coulibaly hit the national team player on the ankle with an outstretched leg and was punished with a red card. Ndoye played on anyway before being substituted in the final quarter of an hour.
Bologna
Remo Freuler
A strong game from the midfield engine. He repeatedly fed the offense with balls, but despite being outnumbered, Bologna could not manage more than a draw. Sugar cross in the 80th minute to teammate Castro. The subsequent header was easy pickings for the Parma keeper.
Empoli
Nicolas Haas
On the bench for the 2-1 defeat against Lazio Roma.
Parma
Simon Sohm
Played through in the 0-0 draw against Bologna. Outnumbered from the 52nd minute onwards, without any noteworthy action.

Ricardo Rodriguez
Origin of a controversial situation in the 4th minute. The ball bounced into his hand in the penalty area. The referee did not blow his whistle, but there were protests from the stands. He was substituted in the 86th minute. Rodriguez was criticized by the Spanish media. He was the team's worst defender in the 1-0 defeat against Sevilla and was still out of form.
Sevilla
Djibril Sow
Missed the derby against Betis due to a muscle injury.
Real Valladolid
Eray Cömert
Played from the start in the 2-1 defeat against Rayo Vallecano. Replaced at half-time. The only noteworthy action was his yellow card in the 20th minute.

No chance with the only goal conceded. Renns player Blas smashed the ball beautifully into the far corner from around 30 meters. Challenged just before the break. He deflected a long-range shot decisively over the crossbar. In the 49th minute, he was lucky to hit the post. Was cautioned for time-wasting. The Monegasques remained top of the table thanks to the 2-1 win.
