Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund were the only teams to wear just the one kit in their eight league games.

There were two teams that wore their 5th Kit Variation of Competition so far…

Feyenoord, wore their 3rd Kit with alternative white shorts and socks, having now worn 1 Home Kit Look, 2 Away and 2 3rd Kits.

Sparta Prague wore their Away Kit for the first time, ending their run in the competition with 1 Home Kit, this Away Kit and 3 different 3rd Kit looks.

Celtic and Arsenal wore change kits for the first time in the competition this season.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Manchester City and Club Brugges, regular followers and readers will know that I am partial to a kit that has contrasting socks, so with both teams in this look it was always going to be this game!
