Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg
Underrated but highly influential

Liverpool is one of the most impressive clubs in the Champions League this season. After 10 years of wandering, the Premier League club have finally announced themselves on the big stage in a fantastic fashion. They have been the most dominant side in the competition for the past few months, scoring a total of 10 goals in the knock-out stages.

The club's European progress this season owes so much to the presence of some hardworking and outstanding players in the team, who have been working tirelessly to keep the ball rolling. One of these indisputable heroes is Roberto Firmino.

Firmino might not be one of the regular names we usually hear in the Champions League, but what the attacker has done this term really deserves some credit. The Brazillian has been a vital cog in Jurgen Klopp's European squad this season. He has proved himself as one of the most impressive finishers in the tournament.

So far, the 26-year-old has scored 8 goals in 10 Champions League appearances for The Reds, averaging 0.8 goals per match. He scored 5 with his right foot, 2 with his left and the last one was a header to prove how complete he has been. His conversion rate has also been superb. The striker converted an amazing 25% of the total 31 shots he has attempted in the tournament this season.

His amazing movement and the ability to shoot from any angle means he is definitely a real threat to opposition defenders.
