He finished first, with Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior finishing as second runner-up, Benfica's Vangelis Pavlidis as third runner-up, and Feyenoord's Igor Paixão placing fourth. Consistency of form of Guirassy has sparked Dortmund's European campaign. His direction on the field and being able to dictate the pace of the match have been of immense value to the team.
