1) THIAGO ALCANTARA (BAYERN MUNICH) – 8.3

The Spaniard scored twice as Bayern Munich ran riot against Arsenal, beating Arsene Wenger’s men 5-1 at the Allianz Arena.

The 25-year-old was once again the heartbeat to Carlo Ancelotti’s side – hammering home two goals in the second period to put his team in a very strong position to qualify for the last eight of the competition.

2) KEVIN GAMEIRO (ATLETICO MADRID) – 7.9

The France attacker led from the front for Diego Simeone’s men, netting a crucial second-half penalty as Atletico beat Bayer Leverkusen 5-1 at the Vicente Calderon.

Gameiro was instrumental up front and also provided the assist for Antoine Griezmann to score his team’s second goal.

Atletico, once again, seem to be gathering form at the right time as they make another Champions League charge.

3) MARCO VERRATTI (PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN) – 7.7

Verratti played a key role in PSG’s emphatic 4-0 first leg success over Barcelona in Paris.

The 24-year-old Italian showed flashes of class throughout the first leg and will be vital at the Nou Camp as the French giants look to wrap up the tie.

4) ANGEL DI MARIA (PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN) – 7.6

This was purely vintage Di Maria.

The Argentine hit two goals to help dismantle Barcelona and give a timely reminder, that at his best, he is one of the most revered wingers on the planet.

Di Maria’s showing was reminiscent of his famous performance in the 2014 UEFA Champions League final, where he helped Real Madrid to a win over city rivals Atletico.

5) SERGIO AGUERO (MANCHESTER CITY) – 7.6

The striking maestro played a crucial role in City’s memorable 5-3 triumph over Monaco, scoring two, as Pep Guardiola’s men came from behind on two occasions to secure an important advantage.

Aguero certainly played as if he had a point to prove and he delivered a display that has cemented his status as one of the game’s great strikers.
