The Brazilian wins the award for the second time this season – and again after a powerful performance against the Pitmen
Winger Porto Vanderson Galeno became best player weeks in Champions League based on fan voting. This happened to the Brazilian for the second time. And again the “victim” turned out to be Miner.
Let us remind you that in the home match of the sixth round (5:3), the left winger was involved in four goals against the Miners – two accurate shots, two assists. Galeno performed almost as well (2 goals + assist) in the first round – and also became Player of the Week. It is curious that the Brazilian performed all his effective actions in this group season of the Champions League only against the champion of Ukraine.
In the voting, Galeno was ahead of Samuel Lino (Atlético), Angel Di Maria (Benfica) and Josela (Real Madrid).
This season, 26-year-old Galeno played 20 matches for the Dragons, scored 5 goals, gave 7 assists. Total – 12 effective actions, seven of them in two matches against Shakhtar.
Of the six Player of the Week awards in the 2023/24 Champions League season, half were won by Porto representatives. Following the results of the third round, forward Evanilson was recognized as the laureate. In addition, Atlético representatives Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann received the award twice. In the fifth round, Ciro Immobile from Lazio had no equal.
Let us remind you that Shakhtar took third place in Group H. Marino Pusic’s team will continue to play in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League.
