#2 Kostas Manolas

AS Roma v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Leg Two
Kostas Manolos scored AS Roma's third goal against Barcelona

Kostas Manolas was AS Roma's hero against Barcelona when he scored Roma's third goal in the closing stages of the match to send his team to the CL semi-finals.

The Greek defender is enjoying a good season in Italy's capital and helped his team to maintain a strong defence in the Serie A. Manolas is a dominating figure in the air and won 2.7 headers per game in the Serie A.

The 26-year-old defender avoids reckless challenges and he reads the game to break down the attacking threats.

He possesses a great pace which will be vital in his job to stop his former teammate, Salah.

Liverpool's front-three is scoring goals with fun this season and the former AEK Athens' man will lead Roma's defence in their mission to stop Liverpool's sensational trio to run riot against them.
