Players to Watch

Erling Haaland is the top scorer in this season’s Champions League, with ten goals to his name in just six appearances. The 20 year old’s record in the Champions League is simply incredible. And he will be determined to end his run of four games without a goal for club and country against Manchester City on Tuesday.

Mahmoud Dahoud was one of the difference makers in Borussia Dortmund’s vital first leg win over Sevilla in the round of 16. And his performance will be key to their chances against a dominant Manchester City team. His directness, quick passing and high intensity could pose a threat to Pep Guardiola’s side.

Ilkay Gündogan is Manchester City’s leading goalscorer this season, with 16 goals to his name. The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder has become indispensable for Manchester City this season. And he will be aiming to keep his excellent form going on Tuesday.

One-time Borussia Dortmund target Kevin de Bruyne is also enjoying an impressive season. He could really exploit Dortmund’s vulnerabilities in midfield and defence with his sublime passing and playmaking abilities.
