Who shone, who fell away? blue Sport follows the performances of the Swiss mercenaries very closely.

Leeds United
Noah Okafor
The 25-year-old definitely seems to have arrived at Leeds. Two weeks after his debut goal, he also scored against Tottenham.

Italy
Inter Milan
Yann Sommer
After Sommer had to sit out twice in the league, he came on during the week in the Champions League against Slavia Prague and kept a clean sheet. At the weekend, the goalkeeper was then allowed to play again in Serie A. He was beaten shortly before the end against Cremonese. A cross from the left left him stuck on the line and he was then caught between the legs. His teammates allow Federico Bonazzoli to score at the right-hand post.
Inter Milan
Manuel Akanji

Djibril Sow
Stayed on the pitch against Barcelona until the 61st minute and repeatedly made his mark going forward.

The central defender continues to wait patiently for his chance. Has to watch on once again in the 2-1 defeat against Girona.

Because regular goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky is still out through injury, Köhn is also allowed to play in the 2-2 draw against Nice. At 0:1, he let himself get confused by a teammate, who tried to keep his head down for a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but then pulled it back. At 0:2, he is beaten from the spot.
AS Monaco
Denis Zakaria
An adductor injury forces the Monaco captain to take a break.
