#2 Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain)

With six goals and four assists to his name, Neymar was the joint most productive player in the group stages. This is predicted by many as the season where the Brazilian poster boy emerges from the shadows of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and finally makes his grand arrival.
His move to PSG and his stunning form this season is all pointing towards the fact that this may finally be the season of reckoning for Neymar. He is PSG's greatest hope of landing a European title and this team is capable of delivering the goods. The Parisians are looking like a team to beat this campaign with Neymar leading their charge from the front.
Barring the final group match against Bayern Munich, Neymar scored in each of PSG's Champions League encounter this season. He is expected to carry on his golden run of form and going by his current showings, Neymar can beat Ronaldo's last season's feat of 12 European goals.
