#2 Luka Modric vs Julian Weigl
The battle between the Croatian midfield supremo and the young talented German who was recently linked with a move to Real Madrid promises to be an intensely fought one .
Modric, who has been Real Madrid’s midfield maestro all these years drawing comparisons to Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta, will be looking to give fans another glimpse of his immense class and abilities. His free kick was perfectly glided into the box gifting Ramos an easy opportunity to score in the recently held El Clasico.
He will be looking to deliver a similar performance in the Champions League clash by developing the gameplay from the midfield and using his creativity to create goal scoring opportunities for his side.
Weigl has been one of the most impressive German talents to emerge from 1860 Munich. His gameplay even at the tender age of 21 is extremely mature and creative. Weigl was scouted by Madrid in the summer recently with Zidane looking to snap up a reliable backup for Casemiro. However, the youngster decided to stay loyal and enjoy consistent game time at the German club instead.
It is said that games are won and lost in the midfield. Weigl will be looking to impress Tuchel and deliver a performance which cements his reputation as one of the most exciting youngsters in the game. Modric will be looking to use all his experience to break down the resolute, sturdy Dortmund defence led by familiar foe Marc Bartra and create goal-scoring opportunities for Cristiano Ronaldo and co.
