3) Saul Niguez
Saul made his debut for Atletico at the age of 17 and has gone on to cement his place in the starting lineup since. The Spanish midfielder is a versatile player who is accomplished in central, attacking and defensive midfield roles.
Saul’s creativity and tireless approach to the game will be crucial for Atletico’s tactics of defending and breaking at speed. The 21-year-old is a capable attacking midfielder and scored the goal that put Atletico ahead in the semi-finals against Bayern Munich after going past four defenders. He will be looking to unsettle the Madrid defenders with his trickery and releasing the pacy Antoine Griezmann on counter attacks.
