#7 HOUSSEM AOUAR - LYON
Lyon's academy has produced the likes of Corentin Tolisso, Alexandre Lacazette and Samuel Umtiti over the years, and Houssem Aouar is their current local superstar who produced some dazzling performances in the Champions League.
The 22-year old was one of Lyon's best players as the club reached the Champions League semifinals, beating Manchester City along the way. A fine passer and a good dribbler, Aouar's creativity was one of Lyon's key weapons. A versatile player, he played in midfield as well as on the left-wing last season.
The France U21 international has been linked with a move away from Lyon this summer, with Manchester City, Arsenal and Juventus all interested in the player.
#6 ANGEL DI MARIA - PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN
Opinion on Angel Di Maria is often shaped by his disastrous Manchester United spell, which lasted only one season.
However, some tend to forget his key role in Real Madrid's Champions League winning side, and his performances for Paris Saint-Germain in the tournament once again reminded people of his quality. Having joined PSG from United for £44 million in 2015, the Argentina international has been pivotal for them since then.
A highly creative forward, the 31-year old made nine Champions League appearances, scoring three goals and providing six assists. He was the perfect foil to Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, with his dribbling and eye for goal causing problems for the opposition defence.
#5 KYLIAN MBAPPE - PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN
One of the best players in the world right now, Kylian Mbappe's rise to the top has been meteoric, to say the least.
The second-most expensive player ever, Mbappe has been a talismanic presence for the Parisiens since joining the club in 2017. A highly explosive player with an incredible goalscoring record, the 21-year old was in fine form in Europe as PSG reached the Champions League finals.
The France international made 10 appearances in the competition, scoring five goals and providing five assists. Out of those 10 appearances, six were starts, as his pace and overall quality proved to be a nightmare for defenders.
#4 SERGE GNABRY - BAYERN MUNICH
Arsenal must be ruing the day they decided to let go of Serge Gnabry to Werder Bremen in 2016 for £5 million.
A season later, the Germany international would join Bayern Munich and his subsequent performances for both club and country have made him one of the best wingers in the world right now. A tricky, creative winger, Gnabry was one of the Bavarians' most important players as they won the Champions League.
The 25-year old made 10 appearances in the Champions League, scoring nine goals and providing two assists. This included scoring four goals in a 7-2 win against Tottenham Hotspur in a group fixture.
