players to watch:
Lionel Messi (Barcelona, 13 goals in 10 games): Given his recent form is it right that he is considered to be one of the top two players in the world (alongside Cristiano Ronaldo). Was immense in the 8-0 destruction of Almeria last weekend, scoring three and laying on two, plus he also registered against Panathinaikos in midweek. Indeed, Messi has scored in his last nine matches for club and country.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid, 14 goals in 12 games): Just as Leo is Barcelona’s talisman, ‘CR7’ has been close to unstoppable for los Blancos this term and has matched his great rival goal for goal. Just as Messi scored a hat-trick last weekend, so did Ronaldo, who has been in wholly remarkable form since the beginning of October. The 25-year-old surely has a massive role to play in proceedings on Monday. Justifying his tag as the most expensive player in the history of football
