Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has been recognized as the Player of the Week in the UEFA Champions League following the second leg of the playoffs.

Away goals were removed from UEFA competitions in June 2021, with the new rule taking effect from the 2021/22 campaign. The rule change was made as a result of recommendations from the UEFA Club Competitions Committee and the UEFA Women's Football Committee. Two-legged ties that finish as a draw are now decided by extra time.

The 21-year-old midfielder was rewarded for his heroics by UEFA, who chose Bellingham as one of the 11 players named in its star-studded Team of the Week. Bellingham's teammate Vinícius Júnior joins him in the XI after the Brazilian bagged two assists in the match and left the Etihad with the MOTM trophy.
