#3 James Milner (most assists)
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.
