#3 James Milner - Liverpool's MVP at the moment
At 32 years of age, with 16 years of first-team football behind him with over 600 appearances, it is surreal to witness James Milner still operating at such a high level. Continuing his rich vein of form, Milner again notched up a sensational performance, this time in the Champions League.

The midfielder set the tone with a crunching tackle on Neymar and followed it up with a quick pass. Shuttling to the left and to the right, Milner made his presence felt and regained possession four times in the match. The veteran had 70 touches of the ball and also dispatched his penalty with disdain.
But Milner's most important work came off the ball as he closed down the duo of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe simply brilliantly. For the winning goal, it was Milner again who dispossessed Mbappe. After such a statement performance, there is no doubt that James Milner has been Liverpool's best player so far in the season.
