    European Team of the Week: February 1-3

    Mario Balotelli's stunning debut for AC Milan sees him take pride of place in our European Team of the Week.

    Super Mario scored twice against Udinese following his transfer from Manchester City - with his second goal a match-winning penalty deep into injury time.

    He is joined in a rather temperamental frontline by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored a goal and claimed an assist in a 4-0 win over Toulouse.

    The midfield has a rather Premier League feel to it with Reading's Jimmy Kebe, Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini and Newcastle's Moussa Sissoko all included.
