#3 James Milner (most assists)

Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg
Milner was the heart of the creative side of Liverpool this season

James Milner is not just your average footballer. He is sharp and very much aware of his surroundings. He also has a brilliant right foot and can deliver some brilliant crosses in the middle. He also has excellent defensive skills and can dominate the midfield in a tight game.

Creating goals is not an easy task but Milner has made it look like a child's play in this season's Champions League. Especially in the 7-0 hammering of Spartak Moscow at Anfield, his creative skills became most prominent as he set up 3 goals for his team.

Milner has made 8 assists so far in this year's competition's main round. He has also set one up against Hoffenheim in the qualifiers. These 9 assists have helped him set up a new record of most assists in a single campaign of the UEFA Champions League.
