The second leg matches of the Champions League playoffs are behind us, and now the focus is on the next interesting process after the results on the field - voting for the best player of the week. UEFA organizes a special "Player of the Week" vote after each match week.
This time, Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Chuameni, Atletico Madrid forward Alexander Sørloth, Budø-Glimt winger Jens Hauge, and Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen are among the nominees. The list itself shows that this week four brilliant performances of different championships, different styles, and different characters converged at one point.
Tchouameni scored Real Madrid's first goal against Benfica, playing a significant role in the Madrid side's convincing result. This goal was not just an episode that changed the score, but one of the psychological turning points of the match. His pressure in the center, his fighting spirit, and the decisive moment showed once again how important a figure he is becoming for Real Madrid.
And Alexander Sørloth presented one of the most sensational individual performances of this week. He scored a hat-trick, proving once again that he had become his team's main weapon in the attacking line. There were also separate articles about Surlot's effectiveness in recent days - he really gave his team a big boost at the decisive moment.
Jens Hauge was also included in the list of candidates. He had a direct impact on his team's performance with 1 goal and 1 assist. As a player who provided speed, breadth and sharpness in attack, he once again proved himself as a decisive player. In such matches, even a single goal or an accurate assist can change the entire scenario.
Viktor Osimhen, meanwhile, has once again demonstrated his suitability for the big stage at Galatasaray. He scored one of the most important goals for the Istanbul side and put his team ahead in the decisive moment. In the Champions League, even when pressure reaches its peak, hitting like that is a characteristic of true stars.
It's worth noting that after the first matches of the playoffs, Newcastle's Anthony Gordon was named Player of the Week. His name is also included in UEFA's list of winners throughout the season.
In short, in this selection, each candidate has their own arguments: one scored the decisive goal, one scored a hat-trick, another scored and assisted, and another saved his team on a pressing night. Now the final word will be given by the fans and the voting results.
