#3 Pedri
Barcelona are well known for appreciating young talents. Pedri is another youngster running riot at Camp Nou at the moment who could impress in the Champions League as well.
In fact, considering what he's done in recent months, it wouldn't be far-fetched to name him the breakout talent of the year.
The midfielder made his Barca debut on September 27 last year, coming on as a substitute for Philippe Coutinho in a La Liga clash with Villareal. Pedri impressed in that match and earned himself more opportunities. A couple of eye-catching displays established him as an undisputed starter in Ronald Koeman's squad.
The Spaniard played a whopping 52 games for the Blaugrana during the term, recording four goals and six assists to his name. He was a standout player for Spain at the Euros this summer before playing an influential role as La Roja reached the final of the Tokyo Olympics.
#2 Kylian Mbappe
This player needs no introduction. Kylian Mbappe has been one of the finest attackers in the Champions League over the last couple of years. The Frenchman has proven to be a thorn in the side of many elite teams in the tournament.
Mbappe scored a remarkable hat-trick against Barcelona in the round of 16 last term, which simply sums up how much of a big-game player he is. Since making his Champions League debut with Monaco in 2016, the 22-year-old has moved forward to bag 27 goals and 15 assists in the tournament.
So far this season, the attacker has bagged four goals and two assists for Paris Saint-Germain in five Ligue 1 games. He will look to replicate that form when he represents the Parisians in their first Champions League game of the season against Club Brugge on Wednesday, September 15.
#1 Erling Haaland
Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland was the biggest revelation in the Champions League last season. The Norwegian finished as the top scorer of the tournament with 10 goals to his name in eight matches.
The 21-year-old has entered the current season on an impressive note, bagging eight goals and four assists for the BVB in six domestic games. He is gearing up to play his first Champions League game of the season, with the German giants scheduled to face Besiktas today.
Haaland is one of the most complete strikers on the continent right now. His pace, physicality, aerial strength and eye for goal render him a serious threat to opposition defenses. Obviously, Europe has to be wary of this man.
