Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has been named in the UEFA Champions League Team of the Week for Matchday Four, following his outstanding display for Galatasaray on Wednesday night.

Osimhen produced a five-star performance to inspire Galatasaray to a 3–0 victory over Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena, scoring twice and assisting once in a dominant showing that sealed a memorable win for the Turkish side.
