#3 Roberto Firmino
While most of the plaudits at Liverpool this season have gone to Mohamed Salah, Brazilian striker Roberto Firmino has flown under the radar somewhat despite scoring 20 goals in all competitions already – the most he’s ever scored for Liverpool despite the season still having three months remaining.
But if anything, Firmino has been just as important to the success of the Reds as Salah, particularly in the Champions League. The Brazilian has netted 6 goals in European competition thus far, the most of any Liverpool player this season, including braces against Maribor and Sevilla. He’s also assisted in 3 Champions League goals.
With the first leg of Liverpool’s tie with Porto being away at the Estadio do Dragao, Firmino’s statistics seem to suggest he could be even more important. No other player in the Champions League this season has been involved in as many goals away from home as Firmino, who’s scored 4 and assisted in 2 on his travels. If he can deliver again, he could decide this tie.
