#3 James Milner
Sometimes, the end product of the chances becomes the most important factor in determining the best creators.
James Milner has so far managed eight Assists in the UEFA Champions League this season. Deployed often at left back and sometimes in a sort of Half Back role that had earlier belonged to Steven Gerrard.
His best game of the season was the home encounter against Spartak Moscow where he notched up three assists after coming on at halftime.
That clearly inflated his statistics but there has to be acknowledgment when someone leads the charts!
Averaging about 1.5 key passes throughout the tournament, Milner has been solid all season especially managing to get his other assists against Manchester City and Roma in the quarterfinal and semifinal respectively.
Milner has therefore been a creative force for Liverpool in key moments and that is the what matters above all.
