Players to watch out for:

Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)

Serhou Guirassy will be leading the line for Borussia Dortmund and will be the player to watch out for in this game. He has scored 10 goals and provided four assists in the 16 games that he played so far this season. Guirassy is highly efficient in front of goal.

His performance in the 2023-24 season, where he scored 28 goals in 28 matches in the Bundesliga, displays his clinical finishing and consistency. This record-breaking season not only displayed his goal-scoring potential but also his ability to perform under pressure, especially when competing for the top scorer title against players like Harry Kane.

Raphinha (FC Barcelona):

Raphinha will be the player to watch out for FC Barcelona in this game. He has been sensational this season with 16 goals and 10 assists in 22 games so far this season. Raphinha can play across the front line, often positioned on the right wing but capable of playing on the left or as an attacking midfielder.

His adaptability makes him valuable for tactical flexibility. The Brazilian winger possesses excellent ball control, with a flair for dribbling that often sees him weaving through defenders.
