8 most important players for each remaining UEFA Champions League team

#2 Atletico Madrid – Diego Godin

Godin has been a linchpin for Atletico at the back

This was a close call between Antoine Griezmann and the Uruguayan centre-back, Diego Godin, but the 31-year-old has a new kind of threat to deal with, taking on the Premier League defending champions.

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez are all back in the kind of form that saw them win the English title last season and for any defender worth two cents, that could mean trouble. Yes, it's Atletico Madrid and they have their whole midfield as makeshift centre-backs, but the threat of the pacey Englishman and the crafty Algerian is a new challenge for the Uruguayan.

And having yet to receive a single red card this season, he's got to be careful of the quick Vardy who seemingly knows the best way to get defenders sent off.
