The 22-year-old scored all 24 points for Bordeaux in their dramatic 24-21 victory over Racing 92, kicking eight of his nine penalty goal attempts, and gained 81 metres from 18 carries.

His mammoth late penalty kick to see Bordeaux into the semi-finals for the first time set up a trip to four-time winners Toulouse in the last four.

As well as Jalibert, the Heineken Champions Cup Team of the quarter-finals includes:

15 Hugo Keenan (Leinster Rugby): provided two try assists in Leinster’s win over Exeter, as well as making 83 metres from 15 carries.

14 Raymond Rhule (La Rochelle): one of four players to score a brace of tries in the quarter-finals, he also chalked up 52 metres from seven carries and provided a try assist.

13 Geoffrey Doumayrou (La Rochelle): registered two tries, as well as beating the second highest number of defenders (6) in the round and completing 9/9 tackles.

12 Ollie Devoto (Exeter Chiefs): made all his tackles (6/6) against Leinster and was one of just two No.12s to reach double figures for carries.

11 Tom O’Flaherty (Exeter Chiefs): the only player to exceed 100 metres (114) in the quarter-finals, he also completed a try double, beat almost twice as many defenders (11) as any other player in the round and made the joint most breaks (4).

10 Matthieu Jalibert (Bordeaux-Begles): showed why he is so highly-rated by scoring all Bordeaux's 24 points, including a nerveless late penalty kick to send his side into a maiden semi-final.
