Top: Mourinho. Reason, he put Marcelo and Kaka in and the way Madrid played changed IMMEDIATELY. He could not have made better substitutions in any other circumstance. Kaka and Marcelo played very well together, and Mourinho made the choice to make that happen.
Flop: I don't really know the names of the Apoel players so I can't say. I think their midfield was the worst because they couldn't keep the ball at all. Apoel had one forward which did his best with the little possession he had, the goalkeeper made some good saves, and the defenders did a good job of not letting a world class attacking team through until the 75th minute.
Madrid's approach to the game became more Dynamic the minute he and Marcelo were introduced. The team was able to create a higher proportion of chances with greater ease and their tempo to the game increased dramatically. He also grabbed an assist for the crucial first goal after a superb cross and scored the clinical second which all but secured the passage to the semis.
Flop: The entire APOEL midfield. They worked so tiredlessesly to retrieve the ball but as soon as they got it, they gave it away immediately. They couldn't maintain possession whatsoever.
Top: Marcelo, he's the slippery b@stard that was instrumental in the first goal and assisted the second. His impact and performanced after being subbed in was a bit better than Kaka's, credit due.
Flop: everybody who chose to watch Benfica-Chelsea instead of this match. That match seemed exciting, but didn't live up to expectations because of a poor showing by Benfica.
Mourinho will play 4-3-3 with 3 shielding midfielders, you heard it right here first, he 5hits himself in massive video games and is going shielding. Neuer Lahm Marcelo Pepe Ramos Schweini Kroos Ronaldo Robben Benzema ( Benz is the extra acceptable all around participant, Gomez is the extra acceptable goalscorer )
