Paulo Dybala has been Juventus' most consistent attacking threat for a few seasons now. The Argentine international is a versatile player who can operate as both an attacking mid and a second striker.

His finishing and creativity make Dybala one of the best forwards in the world.

This season, the forward already has 3 goals and 2 assists to his name in Serie A, as well as 2 goals and an assist in the Champions League.

Dybala averages over 1.5 key passes per game in the CL, and he will be a menace to deal with for the Atletico backline.

He makes this list over the inconsistent Joao Felix, who still has to find his best form after his mega-money move this summer.

Forward - Alvaro Morata

After a failed move to Chelsea, Morata seems to back to his best with Atletico. He is the club's leading goalscorer this season, with 5 goals in La Liga and 2 more in the Champions League. He just makes the list over his counterpart Gonzalo Higuain.

Ad

A strong aerial threat who can finish from almost any angle inside the box, the former Juventus player will be looking forward to this game as he returns to Turin.

The forward is in good form this season, and a goal against his former club would go a long way to give him more confidence in his game.

Forward - Cristiano Ronaldo

When these two sides met in the Champions League knockout stages last season, Cristiano Ronaldo netted a hattrick past Atletico Madrid.

Ad

There is perhaps no player whom the Atletico fans hate as much as Ronaldo, simply because he loves scoring against them.

The Portuguese superstar was injured this weekend and did not feature in Juventus' Serie A match, but will be fit for this game.

As Juventus look to cement their position at the top of their group, Ronaldo will have a huge role to play.

Simeone will be hoping that he can stop Ronaldo this time around, but that will not be an easy task.
