Among football fans following Europe’s biggest club competitions through 12B Sports, the standout performers of the week all came from the English Premier League. Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah beat Cristiano Ronaldo to win the Champions League Player of the Week honor, while Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey was selected as the Europa League Player of the Week after an outstanding display for his club.
Salah played a decisive role in Liverpool’s 3–0 victory over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal. The Egyptian forward contributed one goal and one assist, helping Liverpool take firm control of the tie. In the fan vote, Salah received 57% of the support, comfortably ahead of Ronaldo on 35%, while James Rodríguez collected 5% and Gerard Piqué finished with 4%.
His season numbers made the achievement even more impressive. Salah had already recorded 38 goals and 11 assists, giving him 49 direct goal contributions across all competitions. That total was the highest among players from Europe’s five major leagues at the time. Although Ronaldo had scored one more goal with 39, Salah’s combined attacking output placed him ahead overall. For supporters keeping track of Europe’s leading performers through 12B Sports, his consistency had become one of the defining stories of the season.
Arsenal also enjoyed a commanding European night by defeating CSKA Moscow 4–1 in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal. Ramsey scored twice and delivered an all-action midfield performance. Along with his two goals, he completed one key pass and one successful dribble while also contributing one tackle and three interceptions. He covered plenty of ground at both ends of the pitch and was, in every sense, here, there and everywhere.
Ramsey dominated the fan vote with 70% of the total support. Antoine Griezmann finished second with 17%, while Timo Werner and Senad Lulić each received 7%. Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger also confirmed that discussions over a new contract for Ramsey were progressing. Wenger explained that the midfielder still had around a year and a half remaining on his existing deal and said he remained optimistic about reaching an agreement.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid produced one of the most memorable performances of the Champions League quarterfinals by defeating Juventus 3–0 in the first leg. Ronaldo stole the spotlight with a spectacular overhead kick that stunned supporters around the world. At the highest point of the move, reports measured his back at approximately 1.41 meters above the ground and his foot at around 2.38 meters.
Spanish outlet COPE later highlighted Ronaldo’s remarkable physical condition, describing the 33-year-old as having fitness levels comparable to those of a 23-year-old athlete. His body-fat percentage was reported at just 7%, lower than the typical level for many professional players, while muscle mass was estimated at roughly 50%. During the match, he also reached a top speed of 33.73 kilometers per hour, the fastest recorded by any player from either team.
As anticipation grows among fans following the remaining European fixtures through 12B Sports, the performances of Salah, Ramsey, and Ronaldo have raised expectations even further. Salah’s remarkable scoring consistency, Ramsey’s complete midfield display, and Ronaldo’s extraordinary athleticism all provided memorable moments, leaving supporters eager to see what other spectacular scenes the closing stages of Europe’s major club competitions might still deliver.
