UCL debutant Wirtz gave the Werkself the lead in just the fifth minute. With his second goal in the 36th minute, the Leverkusen playmaker became the youngest German player to score a brace on his debut in Europe's premier club competition. Logically, Wirtz was named 'Man of the Match'.
Now Wirtz is also up for the 'Player of the Week' award alongside Harry Kane (FC Bayern Munich), Jamie Gittens (Borussia Dortmund) and Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid).
