Champions League 2016-17: 5 players who will decide the semi final between Juventus and AS Monaco

#1 Kylian Mbappe

The Mercurial forward could trouble the resolute Juventus defence

No list of players who could determine the course of the tie between AS Monaco and Juventus FC would be complete without the inclusion of one particular name, Kylian Mbappe. The diminutive 18-year-old has set the footballing world alight with his performances in the current edition of the tournament and millions of eyeballs will be glued on to him when the two sides clash.

He gets past defenders with his pace as well as skill on the ball and has truly risen to the occasion by knocking some beautifully worked goals to propel his side into the semi-finals.

With 24 goals and 5 assists across all competitions thus far, Mbappe surely has the responsibility of carrying his side’s attack alongside Radamel Falcao and if his performances thus far can be counted upon, he could prove to be a thorn in the flesh of the resolute Juventus defence.

The French international has already been inscribed in the glorious chapters of European football’s biggest tournament, courtesy of his performances and would be keen to carry on the good work in the semi-finals.

The tie against Juventus is perhaps his biggest test as an attacker and we believe Mbappe has the required qualities to put them to the sword.
