Ghana international Mohammed Salisu has been named in the UEFA Champions League Team of the Week, as Monaco narrowly defeated Galatasaray on home soil.
The Black Stars defender starred as the French Ligue 1 giants inflicted a 1-0 defeat over Galatasaray in the week six of the Champions League phase, held at the Stade Louis-II on Tuesday.
USA international Folarin Balogun’s goal in the 68th-0minute was enough for the Principality outfit to secure maximum points at home.
The rock-solid defender delivered a top-class performance at the back for Monaco, preventing Nigeria star Victor Osimhen from finding the net in the high-stake clash.
His impressive display did not go unnoticed, earning him a place in the Team of the Week. He earned 7.5 ratings, signaling his impact in the match.
The former Southampton star has become a regular for Monaco this season, having struggled for game time under Adi Hutter last term.
The 26-year-old Ghanaian centre-back has made five appearances out of six Champions League games this season. In all competitions, Salisu has racked up 15 appearances, scoring one goal across the period.
