Mohammed Salisu selected for champions league team of the week

Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu has been named in UEFA’s Champions League Gameweek Two Team of the Week.

The Ghanaian scored his first-ever Champions League goal, as well as his first for Monaco, from a corner kick with just 15 minutes remaining, setting the stage for a dramatic finish in Zagreb.

Salisu’s goal ignited Monaco’s comeback on Wednesday night, helping them secure a point against Dinamo Zagreb.

Denis Zakaria also contributed by scoring from 12 yards, allowing Monaco to maintain their unbeaten start to the Champions League season after their 2-1 victory over Barcelona in their opening match.

Salisu was recognized as one of the central defenders alongside PSV’s Ryan Flamingo, with Atalanta’s Davide Zappacosta (left-back), Lille’s Tiago Santos (right-back), and Aston Villa’s goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez completing the defensive line.
