African players abroad Serhou Guirassy Voted Champions League Player of the Week After Stellar Individual Run

Despite Borussia Dortmund’s heartbreaking exit from the UEFA Champions League, one name has continued to shine across Europe — Serhou Guirassy. The Guinean striker was officially voted Champions League Player of the Week, a testament to his jaw-dropping individual campaign.

In a run that captivated fans and pundits alike, Guirassy ended his Champions League season with 13 goals and 5 assists in just 14 matches, putting him in elite company among Europe’s finest. His clinical finishing, smart link-up play, and tireless work rate became the heartbeat of Dortmund’s charge through the competition.

Dortmund’s journey, however, came to a dramatic halt in the quarterfinals after a 3-5 aggregate defeat to Barcelona. Guirassy did everything in his power to keep the dream alive, including scoring in the second leg, but it wasn’t enough to overturn Barça’s attacking brilliance.

Still, the Player of the Week honor is a deserved recognition. It caps off a memorable European campaign for the 28-year-old forward, who has been one of the breakout stars of this season’s tournament.

Whether it’s his sharp movement inside the box, his relentless pressing, or his leadership on and off the pitch, Guirassy’s performances have etched his name into this year’s Champions League storyline — and with interest from top clubs reportedly heating up, this may just be the beginning of his European legacy.
