MATCHUP TO WATCH
Paul Pogba is the catalyst for Manchester United’s game. The French international has the vision and creativity but also helps when the team defends against strong sides.

Lionel Messi is, of course, the main man to watch, with the Argentinian superstar having another good season. Barcelona’s attacker has scored 22 Champions League goals in 30 appearances against Premier League teams.
