Top Picks From Each Team
Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint-Germain: Mbappe and Neymar are both excellent captaincy options for this game, but with Neymar playing on the wing and Mbappe drifting towards a more central role, the former Monaco star might have better chances to score, which could ultimately lead to a bigger point haul.
Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich: Lewandowski has scored just two of Bayern's last 11 goals in the UEFA Champions League, but he is the top scorer in the competition and should be a lock to, at least, have quite a few chances. Serge Gnabry might be worth taking a look as well, as he has four goals in the last two UCL matches, while Joshua Kimmich has one goal and three assists in that span.
