The second legs of the Champions League play-off round have been completed, and Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen has once again earned a spot in the competition’s Team of the Week.

Galatasaray stunned Juventus in Turin, eliminating the Italian giants in extra time to secure their place in the round of 16.

Osimhen was instrumental, scoring Galatasaray’s third goal to make it 3-1 and tilt the balance of a thrilling tie. His composed finish raised his tally in this season’s Champions League to seven goals.

It is the second consecutive week that the Nigerian striker has been named among the best performers, having also featured in the Team of the Week after the first leg of the play-off round.
