The Slovenian was the clear pick as he whacked in four at Mestalla

Josip Ilicic scored four goals for Atalanta against Valencia in his team's 4-3 win at Mestalla and has been rewarded with the player of the week status from UEFA.

The Slovenian midfielder converted two penalties in the first half then finished nicely twice in the second in an impressive individual dispaly. Neymar and Marcos Llorente were the other players up for the award. 

Atalanta, PSG and Atletico Madrid reached the next round of the tournament, along with RB Leipzig.
