Chelsea vs Juventus: 5 players to watch | UEFA Champions League 2021-22

#3 Jorginho | Chelsea

Jorginho has continued to impress this year

Chelsea have a good squad at the moment and much of the stability to the squad comes from midfield. Jorginho, the current holder of the UEFA Men's Player of the Year award, has enjoyed a good spell in Chelsea's Champions League campaign. He is their top scorer in the competition, scoring two goals, with both of them coming from the penalty spot against Malmo.

The Italian midfielder leads the way in terms of interceptions, averaging 1.8 per 90. He has also attempted 3.3 successful tackles per game. He has maintained an impressive 91.4% pass completion rate. He could be the key in winning the midfield battle against Juventus.

#2 Edouard Mendy | Chelsea

Edouard Mendy has made a huge impact in Chelsea's defensive solidity

Chelsea have been a defensive powerhouse in the 2021-22 campaign and much of the credit goes to their star goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

The Senegalese shot-stopper has been one of the world's best in his position over the last 12 months. He has helped turn Chelsea's fortunes around.

His sharp reflexes have seen him earn the UEFA Champions League goalkeeper of the season award during Chelsea's title-winning run last season. He has kept 10 clean sheets across all competitions this season and has a high save rate as well.

#1 Paulo Dybala | Juventus

Paulo Dybala is Juventus' top scorer across all competitions

One player looking forward to this game will be Paulo Dybala. The Argentine forward missed the reverse fixture on account of an injury and has now been declared fit to face Chelsea.

He has been in good touch this term, with three goals in Serie A and three in the Champions League as well. In his previous outing in the competition, he produced a flawless display. He bagged a brace and picked up an assist against Zenit St. Petersburg in their home fixture.

Though he has featured in just two games in the Champions League, he has raked in good numbers. He has a 93.1% pass success in these games and has also created two key passes per 90.

The left-footed attacker has stepped up since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United. When he is fit, he is the best Juventus player on the field. Massimiliano Allegri will be hoping that Dybala is on top of his game against Chelsea.
