A member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid has secured for himself a place in the latest UEFA Champions League Team of the Week.
The player in question? Aurélien Tchouaméni.
Real Madrid were of course back in action on the continent on Tuesday night.
After making the trip to Lisbon for a Champions League playoff showdown with Benfica, Los Blancos ultimately emerged on the right side of a 1-0 scoreline.
Vinícius Jr. proved himself the difference-maker, netting the game’s only goal in spectacular fashion early in the 2nd-half.
It was the aforementioned Aurélien Tchouaméni, however, who saw his efforts recognised with the Man of the Match prize in Portugal.
This came following a standout showing in the middle of the park on the part of the France international.
And as alluded to above, on Thursday, Tchouaméni has again been rewarded, on this occasion courtesy of a spot in UEFA’s latest Champions League Team of the Week:
