Many know that Lionel Messi is not just the world’s best goalscorer; the Argentinian also possess excellent playmaking abilities apart from his eye for goals. He has created an average of 3.6 key passes for his team while effecting one assist in his six Champions League appearances.

Perhaps Messi has been a bit unlucky because many of his teammates have not been able to finish off the chances he provides. Luis Suarez is on a goalscoring drought and has not been able to score a single goal in the Champions League so far.

#4 Neymar

Neymar is considered by many as a selfish player who only cares for goals. However, he has proven all of his doubters wrong. The Brazilian is the PSG player with the most key passes in the Champions League this season, creating an average of 3.5 vital passes and also bagging two assists for his teammates.

Neymar is a quick and skillful player who can create many openings for his team, and he is also an excellent playmaker. Now Messi is perhaps still slightly ahead of him in terms of sharpness, but Neymar is younger and has got enough and more scope to improve.
