Sevilla's top scorer this season, with 6 goals in all competitions, En-Nesyri was one of Sevilla's bright sparks as the Spanish side lost 4-0 to Chelsea in the Champions League and will be looking to cause some real problems for Real Madrid on Saturday.

The striker made smart runs and put the Chelsea centrebacks under pressure throughout the game, but Chelsea dealt with everything that Sevilla threw at them.

En-Nesyri will look to take advantage of Real Madrid's weakened backline on Saturday.


#2 Lucas Ocampos (Sevilla)

In Ocampos, Sevilla has a player who can turn a game around. The mercurial Argentine has been Sevilla's best player this season.

The 26-year-old right winger will come up against fellow South-American in Marcelo. This will be one of the key battles during the match this Saturday.


#1 Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)

Karim Benzema has been having a hard time this season. But, the talismanic striker has the ability to cause all sorts of problems to a Sevilla defence that were dismantled by Benzema's compatriot Olivier Giroud.

The Frenchman has 6 goals and 3 assists this season and will try to add to that tally on Saturday. The 32-year-old hitman will use his positioning and stellar finishing to help Madrid get past a resilient Sevilla side.

Benzema has led the line for Real Madrid for over a decade now and was one of the first signings of the new Galactico era. The Frenchman was Madrid's top scorer as they won the La Liga last season.

His proficiency in the air and his ability to play off the last defender's shoulder will surely cause Sevilla all sorts of problems. Don't bet against Benzema bagging a goal or two on Saturday.
