Mohammed Salisu’s rise across the European landscape reached another milestone after the Ghanaian earned a deserved place in the UEFA Champions League Team of the Week.
Mohammed Salisu’s rise across the European landscape reached another milestone after the Ghanaian earned a deserved place in the UEFA Champions League Team of the Week.
The AS Monaco centre-back delivered a commanding performance in a crucial 1-0 victory over Galatasaray on Tuesday, December 9, a result shaped largely by his duel with Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen barely found space to operate and spent most of the encounter crowded out by Salisu’s smart positioning. Salisu’s numbers mirrored his dominance. He recorded 40 touches, completed 22 passes and cleared the danger eight times.
His inclusion places him among the matchday six’s standout performers as Monaco continues their push for a deep run in this season’s tournament.
He was the only Ghanaian represented in the chosen XI. Mohammed Kudus, despite scoring his first Champions League goal for Tottenham Hotspur, missed out on a place in the team.
