#2 Roberto Firmino (most goals and assists)

Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg
Firmino was pivotal for the success of Liverpool this season

After the great Ronaldo of Brazil, very few Brazilian forwards have managed to make their mark in European football. But Roberto Firmino is something different and he has already established himself as one of the most lethal strikers in Europe.

Firmino has been a true sensation in this season's Champions League. Not only is he brilliant in front of goal but he is crucial in creating goals too. His best performance this season came probably against Roma on the semi-final first leg at Anfield. Not only did he scored a brace but he also set up two goals which were absolutely vital for progress to the final.

Firmino has scored 10 goals so far in this season's Champions League and is only second to the prolific Cristiano Ronaldo. And more importantly, he has set up 7 goals too which put him just behind his captain James Milner in top assists list.
