Impact Despite the PSV team playing multiple Champions League games in October, it was a relatively quiet month for Bakayoko, who did get multiple shots and crosses on target then. But like September, he directly contributed to a goal in UCL action, this time scoring one himself in an absolutely dominant win over Girona. Now, Bakayoko has a goal and an assist in this year's Champions League, just like the last.

Five shots, three crosses Bakayoko registered five shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 1-1 draw versus Sporting CP.

Impact After logging an assist in PSV Eindhoven's earlier Champions League game this season, Bakayoko failed to directly contribute to a goal again Tuesday. However, he did lead the team in shots and crosses, establishing himself as a credible threat yet again. Such is expected to continue being the case as PSV's UCL campaign continues.

Delivers assist in loss Bakayoko made an assist, had two off-target shots and created two chances during Tuesday's 3-1 UCL loss against Juventus.

Impact Bakayoko had a very quiet outing overall but ended up being able to salvage some fantasy value during second half's stoppage time as he assisted Ismael Saibari for PSV's lone goal of the match.

Wasteful Wednesday Bakayoko had three shots (two on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Bakayoko was disappointing during Wednesday's clash, he struggled with the few chances that fell his way and lacked his usual creativity. The winger has been dominant in the Eredivisie and he will remain on of the top options offensively back in the Netherlands.

Decent outing on Wednesday Bakayoko recorded three shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-0 loss to Arsenal.

Impact Bakayoko did well to create a few goal-scoring opportunities in a game dominated by Arsenal, contributing two crosses, a couple of chances created and three shots in the loss. He was not given much help from his teammates in the attack and found himself taking on the whole Arsenal defense multiple times as PSV struggled to get a chance on net. He should continue to start for PSV in the UCL and should always be a decent shout for a goal contribution.
