If you score three goals in a Champions League match, you're naturally chosen as the player of the week in the European club championship.

Sporting Lisbon's and the Swedish national team's Viktor Gyökeres has been named the best player of the round after his hat-trick against Manchester City in the match that Sporting won 4–1.

It was the second time a Swede scored at least three goals in a Champions League match. The first time was when Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted four times in Paris Saint-Germain's victory over Anderlecht in 2013.

Gyökeres is naturally also included in the team of the week in Champions League, but not as the only Swede. Atalanta's centre-back Isak Hien also took a spot in the eleven after Atalanta's 2–0 win over Stuttgart.
