Player to Watch: Lamine Yamal, Barcelona
It feels just a matter of time before Yamal is recognized as the best player globally. He may not hold that title yet, but very few could argue against it now. His ability to bypass defenders and contribute both in passing and scoring is remarkable for a 17-year-old.
– James Benge

Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona Already scored twice during the first leg, establishing himself as one of the world’s premier strikers. Returning to Dortmund, where he once played, he’ll be eager to impress again.
