Champions League: Dennis and Hakimi nominated for Player of the Week award

Club Brugge forward Emmanuel Dennis and Borussia Dortmund wing-back Achraf Hakimi have been shortlisted for the Champions League Player of the Week award.

Nigeria international Dennis scored twice from his three shots on target to give the Blue and Black a first-half lead before Zinedine Zidane’s men clawed their way back to draw 2-2.

Hakimi, meanwhile scored the two goals that helped his side claim all three points against Slavia Praha and had a 74% passing accuracy in the encounter.

The African stars will compete with Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry and Barcelona striker Luis Suarez for a chance to claim the prize.
