Player(s) to watch:
- Ousmane Dembele came out as one of the top-performing players for the Ligue 1 giants this season. He was the top goal scorer for them and will be looking to continue his form here. Dembele can play as a sole striker and can also play as a right-winger, which makes him a dangerous player in the final third.
- Julian Alvarez caught the eye of many people after performing consistently for his Atletico Madrid this season. The young Argentine forward has a lot of potential and is going to play an important role in the attacking front for Atleti. Julian Alvarez knows how to find spaces in the final third, and with the help of this, he can cause major issues to the opponent’s defence.
