Mwepu makes UEFA Champions League team of the week

Zambia national team midfielder Enock Mwepu made the UEFA Champions League Fantasy team of the week following his fantastic performance for Redbull Salzburg in their 4-1 win over KRC Genk.

The former Napsa Stars midfield made the team alongside players like five-time Balloon D’or winner Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski, Romeru Lukaku, Ziyech, and Tolisso.

Mwepu put in a full ninety-minute shift for the Austrian Bundesliga Champions chipping in with two assists.

Mwepu set up Takumi Minamino for the second goal and Norwegian teenage Sensation Erling Braut Haaland for the fourth goal.

Striker Patson Daka also made history in the match as he scored his first UEFA Champions League to become the first Zambian to score in the Competition since it was renamed and rebranded in 1992 but it was not enough to earn him a place in the team.

Prior to that only the Legendary Chipolopolo player Kalusha ‘Great Kalu’ Bwalya in 1991 for PSV Eindhoven on 2nd October against Besiktas.
