Players to Watch

Emam Ashour (Al Ahly)

Despite being a midfielder, Emam Ashour ended as the top goal scorer for Al Ahly in the domestic league this season. He scored 18 goals and also bagged nine assists in 32 appearances this season in all competitions. Ashour is going to play an important role for the African giants here as he can control the midfield well and surely find the net.

Lionel Messi (Inter Miami)

Lionel Messi is back to battle for another title on the world stage. This time around, he is going to lead Inter Miami. Messi is an important part of the squad and, most importantly, in the final third.

He can score goals and set up his fellow teammates with his playmaking skills. It will be interesting to see what he brings to the table this time around.
