#4 Kylian Mbappe vs Sergio Ramos

Real Madrid v APOEL Nikosia - UEFA Champions League
How will Sergio Ramos cope up with the pace and guile of Kylian Mbappe?

With Edinson Cavani in doubt for the first leg, Kylian Mbappe is expected to lead the line for the Parisians, just as he did effectively over the weekend against Toulouse. This fixture can be said as Mbappe's biggest and sternest test of his short but explosive career.

Mbappe has a knack of scoring in the big games as he showed for AS Monaco last time around. But authorized with the duty of marking him will be Real Madrid's captain Sergio Ramos. The Spaniard does not need an introduction. His ruthless style coupled with his leadership qualities make him one of the best in his business.

But Ramos will have his task cut out against the pace and trickery of Kylian Mbappe. The teenager is solid in aerial duels but will meet his match in the form of Ramos. The centre-back has struggled for form this season but there won't be a better stage and better opponent for the captain to dominate against and get back in full flow.

Mbappe has scored four goals in the Champions League this season and keeping him quiet can lead Real Madrid to the desired result.
