Fede Valverde has been chosen as the best player of the week in the Champions League, in the voting conducted by users on uefa.com. The Uruguayan delivered an unforgettable performance in the victory against Manchester City by scoring all three goals of our team at the Bernabéu.
Valverde opened the scoring in the 20th minute and, seven minutes later, secured his brace with a brilliant cross-shot. In the 42nd minute, he completed his 'hat-trick' with a perfect finish after outmaneuvering Guéhi with a sombrero move. Our player beat Julián Álvarez (Atlético), Kvaratskhelia (PSG), and Olise (Bayern Munich) in the voting.
