Noni Madueke Earns UEFA Champions League Player of the Week Honor
Arsenal winger Noni Madueke has been voted UEFA Champions League Player of the Week after his explosive performance in the Gunners’ 3–0 victory over Club Brugge on Wednesday night.
The England international edged out Barcelona defender Jules Koundé, Atalanta star Charles De Ketelaere, and Ajax playmaker Oscar Gloukh to top UEFA’s global fan vote.
Madueke was a constant menace down the right flank, tormenting Brugge’s backline with his direct runs, close control, and relentless pressure. His creativity and ball-carrying ability repeatedly unlocked spaces, earning praise from pundits and fans alike.
Gabriel Martinelli sealed the night with Arsenal’s third goal, ensuring Mikel Arteta’s men maintained their perfect six-wins-from-six record in the Champions League league phase.
Madueke’s growing influence has strengthened Arsenal’s continental ambitions, with many observers noting that the winger is fast becoming one of Arteta’s most dangerous attacking weapons this season.
