3. Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool central defender
After returning from an ACL injury in his right knee that forced him to miss the entire 2020-21 season, he is now fully back at Liverpool’s central defense and will face the toughest task of the night to contain Karim Benzema. This is perhaps the most important duel on the field and is likely to determine the final outcome. – Francesco Porzio
2. Mohamed Salah, right winger, Liverpool
Even in the midst of his recent struggles for form, Salah shone and finished the 2021-22 Premier League season by winning scoring and assisting titles. Having survived a minor injury from the FA Cup Final, expect to see Al Masry come out of the blocks in an attempt to avenge the injury and defeat that Real Madrid inflicted on him four years ago. – James Bing
1. Karim Benzema, center forward, Real Madrid
Three goals and one assist in two thrilling semi-final matches against Manchester City confirmed the French star’s Golden Ball credentials. The 34-year-old now stands to seal what could be his fifth Champions League title with Los Blancos – a truly astonishing feat made even more impressive by his total tournament tally of 15 goals with two extra passes. Benzema managed to drag this Real Madrid team, sometimes alone, to be on the cusp of his fourteenth success in the competition. Not to mention he could win this in his home country. – Jonathan Johnson
