This UEFA Champions League clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for CSKA and Benfica in this campaign.

Supporting them are Bebras Natcho, Pontus Wernbloom and Georgi Schennikov, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to CSKA’s attack.

Meanwhile, Jonas and Haris Seferovic have been pivotal for Benfica’s attack, shaped by Rui Vitoria’s vision, combining to deliver important goals.
