Ivorian striker Ibrahim Sissoko showcased an impressive performance in the Champions League play-offs despite his club, Panathinaikos, facing a defeat against Malaga (2-0). The 20-year-old player caught attention with his dynamic presence on the pitch, demonstrating agility and skill. Despite his individual efforts, Panathinaikos couldn’t secure a win, with the 2-0 result complicating their chances. Sissoko’s performance, however, was noteworthy, and he is seen as a potential candidate for the Ivory Coast national team, having previously played for the Ivorian U23 team. If he continues his form, he might earn a spot in the Elephants’ squad for the upcoming CAN 2013 qualifiers against Senegal. Sissoko’s loan to Panathinaikos from Wolfsburg aims to provide him with more playing time and exposure after recovering from injuries.
