Chelsea Transfer News
10) Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal
The Chilean has been very important for the Gunners since arriving in the summer, and with three goals and an assist in Europe this isn’t any different here.
9) Luis Suarez, Barcelona
He had a slow start at the Nou Camp, but the former Liverpool man has found his feet in the last couple of months. He will be hoping to add to his tally of four goals against Manchester City next week.
8) Yacine Brahimi, Porto
After a great World Cup that earned him the move to the Portuguese giants, the winger has continued in that vein all season.
7) Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid
It says a lot about the 30-year-old that it is slightly disappointing he is only the seventh best player in the competition. He still has a great eight goals so far.
6) Nemanja Matic, Chelsea
The 26-year-old has been a key part of Jose Mourinho’s charge for a third Champions League medal this season.
5) Koke, Atletico Madrid
After reaching the final last time round, Atleti are attempting to upset the apple cart again. The Spain international’s performances will be key in any efforts at the title.
4) Nani, Sporting Lisbon
It looks like Manchester United made a mistake letting the winger go out on loan. He has four goals and two assists, despite not making it through to the knockout stages.
3) Casemiro, Porto
Maybe another loan mistake from Real Madrid this time. An amazing free kick against FC Basel showed the 23-year-old’s ability.
2) Eden Hazard, Chelsea
He should probably score more goals, but no one can deny that the Belgian is one of the most talented players in the world.
1) Lionel Messi, Barcelona
The four time Ballon d’Or winner has got back in to form recently and has a great eight goals in the competition so far.
