The contribution of the Albanian National Team captain was exceptional, particularly in defense, where he thwarted the dangerous actions of Liverpool's players. His outstanding performance did not go unnoticed, as UEFA honored him as the best player of the match.
But that's not all. UEFA also opened the voting to select the best player of the second round of the Europa League quarter-finals, a prize that was clinched by the captain of the Albanian National Team.
Gjimshiti faced tough competition from Jordan Veretout, Gianluca Mancini, and Matej Kovar, who impressed with their performances. However, it was the red and black captain who captured the hearts of the fans and earned the title of the round's best player.
This recognition not only highlights Gjimshiti's individual brilliance but also underscores the growing influence of Albanian football on the European stage. His leadership and defensive prowess have been instrumental in Atalanta's success, propelling the team to new heights in European competition.
As Atalanta advances to the semi-finals of the Europa League, Berat Gjimshiti's stellar performances continue to inspire both his club and his nation, cementing his status as one of the standout players of the tournament.
