1 LIONEL MESSI (BARCELONA) – 6.97
Barcelona’s magic man was at it again against Arsenal, scoring twice at the Emirates to hand his side the advantage going into the second leg.
At the Nou Camp, Barca will hold a two-goal lead and will be nigh on impossible to be knocked out save for a memorable Arsenal comeback.
Messi now has five goals in this season’s competition.
2 DOUGLAS COSTA (BAYERN MUNICH) – 6.93
Although the Bayern man was not directly influential in his side’s two goals, his energetic play caught the eye of our #360fans.
Costa’s pace and dribbling threat was a constant menace to Juventus and he will feel aggrieved not to have gotten on the scoresheet.
Bayern will be more frustrated for throwing away a two-goal lead and drawing 2-2 but the away goals put them in pole position.
3 THOMAS MULLER (BAYERN MUNICH) – 6.87
Muller did reward his play with a goal, scoring Bayern’s opener on the stroke of half-time.
It was the German’s sixth goal of the campaign, in what has already been a fruitful one for the forward.
Pep Guardiola will be hoping this form continues as he searches for the elusive Champions League trophy, in his last season at the cub, that has so far deserted him in Munich.
Neymar has now laid on five goals for his teammates, the tournament’s highest number of assists this season.
With Luis Suarez not needed to contribute this week, it was a frightening result for those watching.
5 IVAN RAKITIC (BARCELONA) – 6.81
The Croatian midfielder was at his absolute best as Barcelona completely controlled the midfield in North London.
Rakitic’s raking passes and ability to retain possession brought back memories of club legend Xavi in his pomp.
A key part of Barca’s well oiled, slick side under Luis Enrique.
