Karim Konaté earns spot in Champions League team of the week after brace against Feyenoord

Karim Konate

Salzburg’s Ivorian striker, Karim Konaté, has been named in the Champions League Team of the Week following his remarkable performance in his side’s 3-1 victory over Feyenoord. At just 20 years old, Konaté is quickly making a name for himself as one of the most exciting young talents in European football.

Konaté’s decisive contribution came during a thrilling encounter with the Dutch side, where he scored twice to help Salzburg secure a crucial win.

His first goal came just before the halftime break, pouncing on a mistake by Feyenoord’s goalkeeper to open the scoring.

The second arrived in the 57th minute, as Konaté produced a stunning volley from a corner kick to double his side’s advantage.

The Ivorian forward was inches away from completing a hat-trick, but his penalty attempt in the 75th minute hit the crossbar, preventing him from adding a third goal.

Despite missing out on the elusive treble, his two goals were more than enough to earn him a place in the prestigious Team of the Week.

With two goals in four Champions League appearances this season, Konaté is proving his exceptional potential on the European stage.

His performances have garnered widespread attention, as he continues to develop into one of the standout prospects of the competition.

Konaté’s inclusion in the Team of the Week highlights not only his clinical finishing but also his growing influence in Salzburg’s attack.

His ability to capitalize on chances and his composure in front of goal are signs of a player with a bright future ahead.

As the competition progresses, all eyes will be on Konaté to see if he can continue to deliver performances that reflect his immense promise.
