Day 5 of the Champions League 2024-2025 league phase was played this week. UEFA then organizes various fan votes. Paris Saint-Germain, who lost to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena (1-0, video summary Bayern/PSG), had no player in contention for the Champions League Player of the Year award. The competition was between Florian Wirtz (21-year-old attacking midfielder for Bayer Leverkusen), Julian Alvarez (24-year-old striker for Atlético Madrid), Malik Tillman (22-year-old attacking midfielder for PSV Eindhoven) and Mateo Retegui (25-year-old striker for Atalanta). The former won.
The competition was strong, but the Bayer Leverkusen player impressed again this week. The young German talent continues to make his mark at the highest level. The expectation for next season is to see him join one of Europe’s top clubs.
