Ferran Jutgla was the hero for Club Brugge, scoring twice (33rd and 45th minutes) to send them through to the semi-finals where they’ll face Fiorentina. Despite the defeat, Baba Rahman shone for PAOK, playing the full match and earning a 7.2 rating from SofaScore.
This season, he has impressed with 6 goals and 3 assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.
