8 most important players for each remaining UEFA Champions League team

#5 Borussia Dortmund – Sokratis

Sokratis will have a tough task in hand to keep at bay Monaco’s young team

Easily the most combative defender in the Bundesliga and amongst the best in Europe is Borussia Dortmund’s Sokratis. The Greek international is a supreme fighter and one who can single-handedly hold a defence in place.

Against an increasingly improved mercurial forward line that AS Monaco boast of, he’s got to be at the top of his game for him to have a genuine say in who’s to go through in the fixture.

Handling a live-wire in Kylian Mbappe and an extremely astute one in Radamel Falcao cannot be an easy task, but he’s proven time and again that he can be the one who makes the difference – barring when his side takes on Bayern Munich in the league, of course.
