Top Players

Real Madrid came so far by playing as a whole team. Without relying on just one or two players. But some players have to mention. First It’s Toni Kroos and Luka Modric duo. As called Germanx sniper and Croatian magician two midfielders are so much vital to control the game flow for Real Madrid. Kross was the key man against Liverpool in the first leg. These two midfielders can change the game at any moment. The key fact of the duo is that they do not just provide assist or final third balls but they also help in defence and recovery.
The other two players that’s as key as Kroos and Modric are Karim Benzema and Thibaut Courtois. After the Cristiano Ronaldo era, Benzema takes full responsibility for his shoulder in the attack. Playing along sides with inexperienced players like Vini and Rodrygo Benzema carry Real Madrid so far. He scores 5 goals so far in this
season UCL. Then It’s Thibaut Courtois, Real’s goalkeeper is some kind of form in his last two seasons. The semifinal’s two legs are special for him on a different note as It’s against his former club Chelsea. He along sides Eden Hazard knows Chelsea more than others in Real Madrid. Besides this four players, Nacho, Militao-Varane are also going to be commanding.

Players to watch

Keep your eyes on the Kroos-Modric duo and don’t forget about Vinicius Jr and the tank Casemiro who is also vital both in defence and in the opposition box when it comes to the corner or a free-kick. At last, there’s one player that has to be mentioned and it’s Eden Hazard. In the first leg or in the second leg on his return to Stamford Bridge, he can be the pick of the player for Zinedine Zidane.
