In the 2014–15 season, M’Poku continued to attract interests around Europe[43] and Qatar,[44][45] but remained at the club.[46] M’Poku started the season well when he scored in the second leg of the third round of Champions League, in a 2–1 win over Panathinaikos and was awarded Man of the Match by Sporza.[45][47
