Luis Muriel is the UEFA Europa League Player of the Week. The Nerazzurri striker received the most votes on the UEFA website after the Round of 16 first legs. It was the fans to reward the Colombian’s performance, as he was decisive in Atalanta’s 3-2 victory over the German side Bayer 04 Leverkusen at the Gewiss Stadium.

Luis Muriel first assisted Ruslan Malinovskyi for the equalizer, then made the most of Malinovskyi’s passes, scoring the second and third Nerazzurri goals, thus bagging a brace in the match.

An assist, two goals and, above all, a top-notch performance from the Colombian striker, who prevailed over Lopes from Porto, Acuña from Siviglia and Tavernier from Rangers to claim the UEFA Europa League Player of the Week award.
