Di Lorenzo Earns Champions League Goal of the Week

On Friday, UEFA announced via its official web site and social media channels that Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s goal against Eintracht Frankfurt, assisted by a clever backheel from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, was named Champions League Goal of the Week.

The other nominees were Darwin Núñez, who scored with a clever backheel flick to open the scoring against Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior, who pulled one back against Liverpool, curling the ball inside the far post, and Karim Benzema’s second to seal the 2-5 victory over Liverpool.
