Russia - Denis Cheryshev
The 27-year-old left winger has been in sensational form throughout this world cup. Scoring twice in Russia's rout of Saudi Arabia in the opening fixture of FIFA world cup 2018, Cheryshev has been on a song ever since.
The hosts have reached the last 8 for the very first time in their history thanks to Cheryshev's energetic display on the field.
The former Real Madrid man was left out of Russia's starting lineup against Spain in the round of 16 but came on as a substitute and was a major threat on the left wing there on.
Russia faces Croatia next in the quarterfinals and the hosts of FIFA world cup 2018 will heavily rely on their left winger to produce the goods.
