It feels like ages since we have seen Neymar play consistently for the Paris based club. The Brazilian international missed a lot of games last season due to his injury, but he is back now and looks as good as ever.

Neymar is yet to play in the Champions League this season but has 4 goals already in 6 Ligue 1 games this season. Whenever Neymar played, PSG looks ten times more threatening and they will be relying on him to finally step up in the Champions League this time around.

Real Madrid will be Neymar's debut game in the CL this campaign, and the forward will be raring to go on the big stage against his former La Liga rivals.

Forward - Karim Benzema

One of the most underrated players in history, Karim Benzema right now is the most in-form Real Madrid player. The striker has been involved in 20 goals this campaign already, with 10 goals in La Liga alongside 4 assists. As impressive as Mauro Icardi has been for PSG this season, his stats and form do not match Benzema's.

The French international has been Real Madrid's best forward since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, and he will be looking to continue his brilliant form in this big game.

Forward - Kylian Mbappe

This one needs no introduction - Kylian Mbappe has 3 goals and 1 assist in just 150 minutes of Champions League this season, and in current form, he is the best PSG player. The 20-year-old has established himself as one of the best players in the world.

Mbappe scored a hattrick as a substitute in PSG's last Champions League game, and he will be relishing this challenge as he faces his dream team at the Bernabeu. A goal here would only add on to the French international's dominating Champions League stats, and he will be one of the stars to look out for in this fixture.
