Arshavin and Modric definately. modric was probably more of a "pop" because Arshavin, we knew from the UEFA cup, while modric was new for me at least. but arshavin is a big one too, from a russian league player to an argueable best european player!
I don't know, arda turan did not impress me... maybe because I did not watch the turkey- zcech match. but I've seen the good feedback he got.
englaar - holland's midfielder - was amazing I thought against italy but did not put such great performance afterwards. surprising that he's an 28-year-old playing for FC twente... I think he should be in a bigger club.
one player who impressed me but I can't realy call it a "pop" is Joaoh Moutinho. I hadn't seen him before and now I think he's a class player.
I want to add that it was nice to see the amazing players of valencia play like they used to, after we had seen poor performances of them this season... david silva on top.
