Mbappe has already scored thirteen goals in UEFA Champions League this season, with Junior contributing five assists to top their creative tally in the league. Real Madrid have also relied on Arda Guler, Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham to energize their attack through key shots and passes.

Meanwhile, the attacking efforts of Benfica, carefully orchestrated by Jose Mourinho, have been driven by Vangelis Pavlidis, the team’s primary goal threat, and Fredrik Aursnes, both of whom have delivered in crucial moments. Pavlidis has already scored two goals in UEFA Champions League this season, while also being their most creative player, providing two assists in the league so far.
