The Paris Saint Germain winger has been at an unstoppable level in the European tournament, tearing opposition defenses apart with his sheer pace and amazing trickery with the ball while also finding the back of the net consistently as he fired the Ligue 1 champions into the knockout phase of the competition.
With his 5 goals in 6 Champions League appearances so far this season, the former Barcelona superstar ranks among the top goalscorers in Europe's elite tournament at the moment and given his incredible exploits in front of goal so far, he also stands a chance to beat both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to the Champions League Golden Shoe come the end of the campaign.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo.
