- Champions League matchday saw Emmanuel Bonaventure nominated for best player award
- But it was Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry who won the accolade after scoring five against Spurs
- Barcelona's Luis Suarez, Dortmund’s Achraf Hakimi and Ajax's Hakim Ziyech were also selected
Champions League Player of the Week award was handed to Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry following his five-star performance against Tottenham in midweek.
The German striker scored five goals in the Bavarians' 7-2 win over last season's finalists at the Tottenham Stadium.
The first half ended in a 2-1 scoreline but it was a goal-feast for the German champions as they scored five more goals in the second half with Gnabry scoring four of them.
