The Brazilian centre-forward for Liverpool, Firmino has been superb for the club and manager in the tournament, notching 10 goals and making 8 assists for his fellow teammates.

An all-around attacking talent who has been given stick for not being an out an out centre-forward, Firmino has risen above the criticism and proven all his critics wrong. The Brazilian can lead the attack through the middle or play off the main striker off the lat and is a versatile player for Klopp.

The Brazilian is the country's favourite to start the tournament as well given his superb form all season long has fended off interest from Lewandowski, Messi, Mane and Neymar to make the team of the season.


Cristiano Ronaldo

The Champions League all-time leading goal scorer as well as the leading goalscorer of this season with 15 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo has been in sublime form in the competition.

On the verge of winning his third and the club's third title in a row, Ronaldo will want to go to the World Cup on a high by claiming the Champions League. Ronaldo has won the competition on three separate occasions before with Manchester United and Real Madrid and is gunning for his fourth title.

On the cards to make another run at the Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo set the record this season for the most number of goals in the group stage of the competition. The Portuguese player will be eager to put on a good showing at the World Cup this summer as well.

With 10 goals in this competition, Salah is tied with Firmino in second place behind Ronaldo with 15. Although, Salah and co could wreck the Madrid party in Kiev and finish what has been a fantastic season for the Merseyside club.

The Egyptian player is searching for his first Champions League title as is his manager Jurgen Klopp. But the duo looks confident and could produce another great display to finish the season.

A ferociously quick and attacking player, Salah has broken a number of club records during his time so far at Liverpool. Salah has proved himself to be a brilliant acquisition by Jurgen Klopp, who has helped the Egyptian play closer to goal and become a contender for the Premier League’s Golden Boot race, and the European Golden Shoe race this season, as Liverpool look rampant going forward.
