#3 Ruben Loftus-Cheek
From playing for Fulham, a team fighting Premier League relegation, to Champions League football with Chelsea. It is fair to say that Ruben Loftus-Cheek has not put a foot wrong in his attempts to revive his career with the Blues.
Trending
Having played just 118 minutes of Champions League football in three appearances, Loftus-Cheek successfully completed 10 dribbles of his 13 attempts. In the Premier League as well, he is among Chelsea's top five dribblers after only six appearances.
Tuchel would surely appreciate it if the midfielder could add a final product to his game. Loftus-Cheek played 90 minutes of the Champions League game against Malmo which shows he has pipped Ross Barkley and Saul Niguez in the pecking order.
The midfielder remains spirited and believes his chances will come to represent the Blues regularly.
#2 Jude Bellingham
At the age of 18, he is one of the most talented youngsters in world football right now and destined for greatness. Jude Bellingham has shown maturity far beyond his years and is being courted by teams like Liverpool and Manchester United. There is nothing that the 18-year-old cannot do on the field and dribbling is one of the many things he has nailed down in the Champions League.
Of the 15 dribbles that Bellingham attempted, 12 have been completed successfully. The box-to-box midfielder has great reserves of stamina and his movement without the ball has seen him involved in the final-third quite often. His ability to occupy the space between the lines has enhanced his final product.
The Dortmund midfielder has registered three assists and one goal in the Champions League. His ability to press high has been crucial to the German team's success and helps them build quick momentum. His performances in for the Black and Yellows have earned him regular England call-ups.
#1 Karim Benzema
Where Real Madrid would be without Karim Benzema both in the Champions League and in La Liga is a question that must sometimes scare fans. He has been a central driving force for Los Blancos and is undeniably in the form of his life. Having scored more than 25 goals in all competitions in the last two campaigns, the France striker is on route to another prolific season.
His match-winning brace helped Real Madrid beat Shakhtar Donetsk in their most recent Champions League tie. Benzema has been fluidic on the field, carrying the ball from deep, drifting towards wider spaces and playing between the lines and has been a complete No.9.
In fact, Benzema has the highest dribble rate as per our criteria with 11 successful dribbles of his attempted 13. Only Vinicius has more successful dribbles in the Champions League, having recorded 16, but he has attempted more than twice as many of Benzema's tally.
Their combination has been the stand-out factor for Madrid's success under Ancelotti. Los Blancos are not the favorites for the Champions League title this season and it would be interesting to see how far they can go. It is praise-worthy how at 33, Benzema has reinvented himself and has become the focal point of his team's attack.
