#5 Mohamed Salah v Manuel Neuer

The biggest player battle which takes the first spot on our list today is undoubtedly - Manuel Neuer versus Mohamed Salah.

Mo' Salah as he is fondly known all around the footballing world, has had a phenomenal time since the beginning of the last season and proving the fact that he is not a one season wonder.

Meanwhile, Manuel Neuer has been the world's best goalkeeper for a long time now, having just shaded it over his rivals David De Gea and Thibaut Courtois.

With Germany having a very bad World Cup this year and Bayern struggling in the Bundesliga, Neuer would be desperate to create some positive headlines in the Champions League Round of 16.

If Mohamed Salah performs brilliantly against the mighty Bavarians, especially at the Allianz Arena, that will be a big statement by him as a response to him not being considered in the FIFA Best World XI earlier this year.


The first leg of the round of 16 stages will be played from February 12-20, and the second legs will be played from March 5-13.
